Prince Harry and William appear as speakers at an event honoring Princess Diana.
But the brothers refrain from personal contact.
London – For many years, Prince William (41) and Prince Harry (39) were one heart and soul.
But since King Charles's younger son (75) married Meghan Markle (42), the brothers' relationship has increasingly deteriorated.
Harry's explosive interview statements in conversation with Oprah Winfrey (70) as well as his tell-all biography "Reserve" only widened the gap between the royals.
A joint appointment in honor of their late mother Princess Diana shows how broken the relationship really is.
Charity event in Diana's honor: Harry only joins in after William says goodbye
Both brothers will attend the Diana Legacy Award ceremony, which will take place on March 14 at London's Science Museum.
William will appear on site, while Harry, who has lived in California since 2020, will join via video call.
However, according to the British newspaper
Daily Mail
, William and Harry's speeches are timed so that they have no personal contact.
Apparently the two brothers don't even want to look each other in the eye via video conference.
Accordingly, William should start with a speech and award the 20 prize winners.
The prince has to forego the support of his wife Princess Kate (42) as she is still recovering from her abdominal surgery.
Prince Harry, in turn, will reportedly only join in after William has said goodbye.
William and Harry: Reconciliation is a long way off
The fact that the two royals go to such lengths just to avoid meeting each other makes it clear how bad their relationship actually is.
Before their falling out, William and Harry often appeared at the event together to pose with the honorees.

The Diana Award is a charity founded to recognize young people for their inspiring work.
It's a shame that not even the memory of their deceased mother can reconcile the quarreling princes.
One critic even suggested that Prince William would rather shoot himself than see Prince Harry.
