Prince Harry & Prince William Were All Smiles At Princess Diana's Statue Unveiling — Photos Of The Brothers' Anticipated Reunion
Prince Harry appears to be back in the royal inner circle's good graces, as he was seen smiling and laughing at the unveiling of the late Princess Diana's statue in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace.
He previously arrived in the U.K. last week to self-isolate at Frogmore Cottage — the former home of Harry and Meghan Markle prior to their move to the U.S. last year to start their lives anew — before reuniting with his royal family for the second time since he and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties and repeatedly bashed royal members and The Firm on national TV.
The Duke of Sussex had his first face-to-face reunion with Prince William and Prince Charles when he returned over the pond in April for Prince Philip's funeral. And while the royals exchanged a brief clear-the-air talk at the time, there's a long way to go for Harry to repair the damage he's done to his relationships with his family members.
Meanwhile, OK! learned the father-of-two is now ready to own up his mistakes — blaming his past decisions on his "sheer temper" — but Charles won't be in town to hear of his apologies, and William is allegedly more focused on honoring their late mother.
The Prince of Wales allegedly jetted off to Scotland rather than sticking around to honor his late wife and hash things out with his youngest son. According to a source, Harry and his father had "no planned meeting" ahead of the read-headed prince's arrival in London.
On the other hand, the 36-year-old now has a chance to reconcile with William — but OK! reported the Duke of Cambridge, 39, was determined to make sure the Sussex drama didn't steal the spotlight from the statue unveiling on what would have been Diana's 60th birthday.
And while royal experts and fans were gearing up for a tense reunion between the two, Harry and William appeared to be enjoying one another's company at the unveiling.
