Prince Harry has reportedly snubbed William and Kate at the royal family’s Easter service – as the brothers were seen keeping a clear distance from one another during the public celebrations.

The shock divide comes amid months of rift rumours between the famous foursome and saw William and Harry starkly separated by their cousin Zara Tindall and her husband Mike outside the church.

Before the service, Prince Harry chose not to arrive with William and Kate, instead he came with his cousin Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn.

He was then seen chatting with Zara and briefly conversing with Kate but both brothers avoided each other on the way in and out of St George’s Chapel, Windsor.

When the family lined up outside the church following mass, Harry and William again chose to separate themselves with several family members, as each bowed or curtseyed to the Queen.

Body language experts were quick to agree with royal watchers’ assumptions about the allegedly feuding brothers, with one saying it was ‘guaranteed to deepen speculation of a widening rift’.

“Harry’s peculiar body language behaviour once he was in closer proximity to his brother that really added to the huge question that has been hanging over their heads for months,” Judi James told The Sun.

“Harry, Kate and William had always been so well bonded but suddenly it was Harry looking serious and using body language cues to hint at some heightened levels of anxiety when he was with them.”

However, just hours before the service, reports began to emerge William wants Harry and Meghan sent on a multi-year assignment to Africa in a bid to keep the spotlight firmly fixed on his own family.

The talk follows nearly a year of rumblings of a feud between the royal couples which has only been spurred on by the Sussex’s recent move to Windsor and an earlier choice to break away and separate their royal household from the Cambridges’.
