Prince William and Prince Harry reportedly had a tense argument during Prince Philip’s funeral in April.

In an article for the Daily Mail, British historian and biographer Robert Lacey wrote about the alleged quarrel between the brothers as Harry flew in from the US after his grandfather died.

Lacey said William and Harry argued inside St George’s Chapel, just minutes after cameras captured the pair speaking outside.

“There they were, at each other’s throats as fiercely as ever,” an inside source told Lacey. “The rage and anger between those two has grown so incredibly deep. Too many harsh and wounding things have been said.”

The royal biographer reported there was no family meeting between the two brothers and their father, Prince Charles.

Instead, Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly went home once they completed their meetings.

“There was no reconciliation, and no brotherly sit-down or ‘mini summit’ following Prince Philip’s funeral,” Lacey shares. “The conflict between Diana’s two bitterly divided sons does not seem likely to end anytime soon.”

Prince Philip’s funeral took place on April 17, 2021, eight days after he passed away at the age of 99.

Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle was not in attendance for the funeral due to travel concerns surrounding her pregnancy. At the time, she was in her third trimester with baby Lilibet. However, she did watch the televised service from the California home she shares with Prince Harry, Fox News confirmed in April.

While exact details of the brothers’ argument have not been revealed, Lacey’s book Battle Of Brothers: William And Harry – The Inside Story Of A Family In Tumult has suggested the two royals have been at odds over the course of Prince Harry’s relationship with Meghan.

According to Lacey, a rift reportedly formed when Prince William voiced concerns over his younger brother’s relationship moving at such a swift pace and then worsened following bullying allegations that were made against Meghan by a senior palace aid.

The allegations are being investigated by a third-party law firm.
