Harry and William were famously known for sharing a close bond but have reportedly not spoken to each other in two years.
The brothers fractured relationship shows no sign of healing despite the health troubles faced by the royal family in 2024 - with the effects felt by the wider royal family including Kate.
On the latest episode of The Sun's Royal Exclusive Show, royal reporter Bronte Coy asked royal reporter Richard Palmer and Vanity Fair's Katie Nicholl about the relationships moving forward.
Nicholl noted how the Princess of Wales had often been a "peacemaker" when the two feuding brothers hadn't been talking.

She told Bronte: "I remember watching that moment at the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral.
"Kate sort of ushered William and Harry together as they walked up the hill. Seeing her play that role of peacemaker when they weren't talking.
"The problem has been that Kate's been thrown under the bus by Harry, he's said hurtful things about her, he's brought the children into the narrative."
Nicholl went on to say that she believes William is still likely to feel "very angry and betrayed".

She continued: "Possibly the Princess of Wales is open to reconciliation in some form.
"I still feel it's quite early but when you go through something like a cancer diagnosis, that sort of journey.
"When you confront your own mortality you realise it's far too short for rifts and family feuds.
"Perhaps she will play a role of healing at some point."
The Princess of Wales, 42, wrote a letter to guests set to attend her Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey on Friday.

In it, she reflected on the true meaning of the festive period and called for "love, not fear" as well as kindness and empathy.
Royal reporter Bronte Coy suggested Kate's words could be a sign that she's willing to forgive Harry and Meghan.
Royal reporter Richard Palmer, echoed her thoughts about forgiveness - but struggled to get confirmation from inside sources.
He added: "I did think that when I saw 'forgiveness'...
"I tried to sound out people close to [Kate] but they were adamant that they weren't offering any guidance on what was the message behind the message."
It comes as Prince William and Prince Harry once again offered their congratulations separately to winners of the Diana Award, set up in memory of their mother.
William has written a letter, which was posted on Wednesday, praising the "extraordinary" recipients for their "kindness and compassion".
William told them: "My mother... would be immensely proud of you."
The Prince, in his letter on Kensington Palace headed notepaper, describes how the "world can feel an uncertain and unfamiliar place".
Harry, meanwhile, has recorded a video message which will be played during the virtual Diana Award ceremony today.
The Duke will speak of how Diana's view of the world still inspires him as he outlines the challenges the world faces including "systemic injustices".
