Clear sign Prince William and Prince Harry won't reunite anytime soon
Prince William and Prince Harry made sure to share separate messages for recipients of the Diana Award.
There's a clear sign that Prince William and Prince Harry won't be reuniting anytime soon, with the pair releasing separate messages of congratulations for the winners of the Diana Award. The brothers set up the award in memory of their late mother, Princess Diana.
William and Harry's feud has been ongoing for several years, and if they cannot come together for their mother, it seems unlikely they will do so for any other reason anytime soon.
Prince William and Prince Harry release separate statements for the Diana Award
The Prince of Wales wrote a letter praising the "extraordinary" recipients for their "kindness and compassion", writing, "I am so proud of the impact every one of you has had on your communities and beyond."
"You are driven by kindness and compassion, and through this you are all changing the world for the better."

He added, "At times, the world can feel an uncertain and unfamiliar place, and I know many of you have had to work hard to overcome barriers to make positive change. Despite this, I am heartened to see what inspirational young people like you can achieve.
"I know my mother, in whose memory you receive the Diana Award today, would be immensely proud of you. I hope this award helps you to further champion your cause and support those around you."
The Duke of Sussex, meanwhile, recorded a video message back in September to be played during the virtual Diana Award ceremony.
According to The Mirror, Harry's message will be about how Diana's view of the world still inspires him. Like his brother, he will share how the charity's mission is the inspire young people to make "positive change".
The publication reports he will say, "No matter the challenges we face, whether it's climate change, mental health or systemic injustices, her legacy and the efforts of young people to inspire further action in the world fill me with hope."
"Sometimes the world's problems can seem too big for any one person to tackle, but your efforts are a powerful reminder that we all have the potential to contribute to a fairer world. No-one is ever a conduit for change alone and the award recipients we're honouring today are testament to that."
William and Harry's fractured relationship
William and Harry's feud has been ongoing for years now, with the pair not even speaking to each other earlier this year when they gathered with family at the memorial service for their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes.
Harry secretly flew to the UK for the service following his uncle's death.
Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun that if there were to be any reconciliation between the brothers, there would be an "enormous amount of groundwork to be done." However, he believes there could be a chance "if both sides are prepared to give a little."
He added, "Let's hope that one day this will happen. But I don't honestly see it happening in the near future."
"They have been in the same room, if I can put it like that, on several occasions," Vickers said. "But this doesn't necessarily mean that there's going to be a reconciliation.

"I think that, from what I understand, Prince William is very annoyed, and tends to be rather unforgiving, so I think there's an enormous amount of groundwork to be done."
Referencing Harry's book and his Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, Vickers said, "He has thrown a great number of spears and javelins in the direction of the Royal family, particularly at Prince William, and indeed at Catherine as well, and, of course, to the King.
"So Prince William, I think, has every reason to be very irritated by his brother."
The royal expert says that while the brothers may have been able to patch things up before Spare and Harry & Meghan were released, it will be less likely now, especially given William is "very protective of his wife".
