Prince Harry has arrived in the UK ahead of the unveiling of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales’ statue - commissioned to honour her memory.
Harry jetted to England on Friday and will now quarantine as the final preparations are made for the ceremony next Thursday.
The Queen was spotted driving to Frogmore Cottage just moments after Harry’s arrival.
A source, who spoke to The Sun, was left stunned by the quick turnaround, claiming Harry did not even have time to unpack before his grandmother arrived.
“It is quite something. No sooner had Harry been driven from Heathrow to Frogmore Cottage the Queen was on her way down.
“I’m sure they would have plenty to talk about. The Queen would obviously want to see her grandson after everything that has gone on and could take this opportunity to act as the peacemaker.”
A spokeswoman for Harry confirmed the Duke of Sussex had arrived “safely” at his private residence Frogmore Cottage close to the Queen’s Windsor Castle home.
It is hoped Diana’s sons will put their differences aside for the event on July 1, which will take place on what would have been their mother’s 60th birthday.
However, a source claimed there has been no olive branch offered from either side.
“I fear it will be the same as at Prince Philip’s funeral, a nod of recognition and that’s about it,” they told The Times.
Bombshell new reports claim the brothers were “at each other’s throats” during Prince Philip’s funeral.
Robert Lacey - the author of explosive book Battle of Brothers, told The Daily Mail tensions boiled over behind the scenes, once they were out of sight of prying cameras.
“The rage and anger between those two has grown so incredibly deep. Too many harsh and wounding things have been said,” a friend told The Sun.
Kensington Palace has confirmed the royal brothers and Diana’s close family - thought to be her siblings - and others involved in organising the statue will attend the ceremony in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace.
“This is a small event and a very personal moment for the family,” a royal source said.
“Plans have been scaled back due to the current COVID-19 restrictions and media arrangements reflect both the size and tone of the event.”
Diana’s sons commissioned the artwork in 2017 - the 20th anniversary year of her death - to celebrate the princess’ life and legacy through the creation of a permanent statue.
In a statement when the project was announced, the royal brothers said: “Our mother touched so many lives. We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy.”
Among those attending the unveiling will be members of the statue committee, sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley who created the artwork, and garden designer Pip Morrison.
