Prince Harry is "trying to make things up" with his older brother Prince William ahead of the Diana Legacy Award tonight.

This evening the brothers, who have been at loggerheads since around 2018, will make a rare joint appearance at the Diana Legacy Award event at the Science Museum in London. Although both are set to be in attendance, the siblings will not be in the room together, with Prince Harry not even in the same building or country, with him joining via videolink from Montecito in California.

An expert has now claimed that Harry is likely trying to patch things up with his brother ahead of this event, and ahead of his UK return in May when he flies back to his homeland for and Invictus Games service as the government launches a £26m bid to host the event in Birmingham in 2027.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, royal expert and author Tom Quinn said: "Harry will definitely be trying to make things up with his brother before he returns to the UK in May – he knows how bad it will look if he doesn’t see his brother, especially when Kate has been so ill. In the time Harry has been in the States he has realised that the problems he had with his brother and his father and with the royal family in general did at least make life interesting."

Quinn then referenced an old Irish saying, "strife is better than loneliness", and noted that "without his family and his family battles Harry is lonely in the USA". He then noted how the Duke of Sussex has been described as a "little boy lost".

"He’s bored and has very little to do and he’s lost the only life he was trained for," Mr Quinn continued, adding: "Anything he can do to improve relations with his family can only be a good thing for him. And he has definitely had time to realise that writing Spare and giving interviews about how awful his life was with the royal family has not brought the apologies and the happiness he’d hoped for."
