Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship was impacted by 'Spare.'

“Quietly, behind the scenes, it is obvious that the Spencer family have kept the communication channels open with Harry and that their affection for him is reciprocated,” royal expert Jennie Bond told an outlet.

“I’m sure Harry feels it’s important that he still has some kind of anchor here in the U.K. and, for now at least, it seems that it is with his aunts and uncle," Bond continued. "And that has to be a positive thing.”

Harry reportedly stayed with Charles Spencer at Diana's childhood home, Althorp House, but sources claim he didn't meet up with William while in his home country.

OK! previously reported Meghan Markle's ex-friend Lizzy Cundy predicted the royals could end their bitter battle if the duke apologized.

"Prince William doesn't want him back, and I think Harry needs to take a look at himself," Cundy told GB News. "There's one word he hasn't said, which is 'sorry' — seems to be the hardest word for them both, but they need to apologize."

"Let's not forget, the Netflix contract is going — everything they touch seems to turn to rubbish," Cundy noted.

While at the emotional gathering, William and Harry were seen in separate sections.

"They were sat two or three rows back from the front, not at the back, but they were on opposite sides of the aisle," a source stated when discussing the siblings attending Fellowes' memorial service. "And then there were family members on the rest of the seats between them, so maybe that is something that was arranged."

According to a source, the Spencers are hoping to bring William and Harry together.

“It was probably always going to be a funeral that brought the boys together under one roof, and the fact that William didn’t boycott it because Harry was going to be there has cast a glimmer of hope in an otherwise deeply depressing impasse," a source shared.

Despite the tension between them, William and Harry prioritized honoring their uncle.

"Prince William and Harry are currently not on speaking terms, and everything was carefully choreographed so that they wouldn’t have to interact with each other," podcaster Kinsey Schofield noted. "There was nothing joint about this appearance. It was two family members showing their respect in a personal capacity. Off duty."

Bond spoke to OK! U.K.
