HARRY & WILLS' EXPLOSIVE FIGHT!

ALL HOPE THE BROTHERS WILL RECONCILE HAS GONE OUT THE WINDOW

- 

If anyone in the royal family thought Prince William and Prince Harry would break bread and toast to forgiveness after unveiling a statue in honour of their late mother, they were sorely mistaken.

Instead, relations between the once-close brothers have done the seemingly impossible and sunk to an all-time low.

Sources tell New Idea that four years’ worth of bad blood boiled over in an ugly confrontation at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, shortly after the unveiling ceremony at Kensington Palace on July 1.

Their face-to-face meeting was organised by Duchess Kate, 39, who was hoping the brothers would instead “begin a journey to healing”.

“Catherine is well aware of her role as peacemaker in the family, and encouraged William to see Harry and try unravel this huge mess,” reveals our royal insider. “But despite her best efforts, it didn’t go according to plan – which is putting it mildly!”

Prince Harry jetted from Los Angeles to London a week before the grand statue unveiling at Kensington Palace,where he lived most of his life and Prince William remains with his young family.

But instead of staying at the ancestral home, he instead opted to stay at Frogmore with his cousin Princess Eugenie. Palace insiders say he quickly became a “right royal pain in the behind”.
