William and Harry appear to have fallen out in recent months. Harry famously said in an interview while touring South Africa last year that he and William were on “different paths”. He was quick to add, however, that he would “always be there for him”.
The Prince and his wife, Meghan Markle, moved to the US earlier this year.
They have visited the UK just once since then, to mark the Queen’s annual Commonwealth Day at Westminster Abbey in March.
Their absence has been made all the more obvious as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown.
What has panned out is a far cry from the close relationship Harry and William used to have.
In their younger days, the pair were inseparable.
Banter and playful digs appeared to be their common language.
This was especially true when the brothers, alongside their father, Prince Charles, spoke to Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly to mark 30 years of the Prince’s Trust.
Talking on the topic of popular culture, William had a sly dig at his brother’s music taste.

Shortly after this, Charles revealed how William and Harry would often play music upstairs while downstairs, the whole room would shake.
Ant said: “It’s just like houses up and down the country – turn that racket down!”
The Prince’s Trust is one of the most successful funding organisations in the UK.
It is also the UK’s leading youth charity.
Over 950,000 young people have been given grants to turn their lives around and start businesses, many of which have gone on to become million-pound ventures.
Entrepreneurs with a keen eye for detail have also been granted bursaries and funds, around 125,000 of them.
While nearly 400,000 businesses have been given support in the face of collapse.
One of the most successful businesses the Prince’s Trust has helped is called Attik.
In 1986, James Sommerville and his business partner Simon Needham bought a new Apple Mac, secured a grant from the Trust and founded a design agency in James’ grandmother’s attic.
It is now a high-flying branding agency working with the likes of MTV, Coca-Cola, Toyota, employs hundreds of people, has offices in Sydney, London, Los Angeles, New York and Huddersfield, and turns over more than £25million a year.
