Prince William and Prince Harry's reunion 'a temporary truce'
As the world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II, there has been a glimmer of hope that her grandson's Prince Harry and William have made amends to farewell Her Majesty.
The pair greeted members of the public yesterday, alongside their wives Meghan and Catherine.
But some believe this is just temporary and the rift between the young royals remains.

"My understanding is that this is very much a temporary truce," Daily Mirror Royal editor Russell Myers told Today Extra.
Local media reported Prince Harry and Meghan had planned to do their own walkabout with a US TV crew, but Prince William put a stop to it.
"I think that the Prince of Wales took the initiative to think about the issues at hand that the Queen's passing is so much bigger than the rifts or the arguments these four have had in recent months," he said.
"Indeed, he extended that olive branch to his brother and it was accepted - there was a bit of a delay in the walkabout, about 45 minutes, but when you saw them together, I mean, it was quite a sad moment, really.
"I just think everybody thought what we have lost in their relationships as well, there was such a real positivity when they first came on the scene, and I think that unfortunate fracturing of the relationship has ended in quite a sad situation."
Russell Myers said he feels it is sad, but this may just be a temporary truce between the four. Today

While Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have received a spate of negative publicity in the media in recent weeks, Russell said it is understandable if they don't stay in the UK for too long after the funeral.
"As the Prince of Wales showed yesterday, there is plenty of time for unity in this awful situation that is unfolding, and hopefully - that's what the Queen didn't manage to see in her lifetime, unity - so hopefully that will happen in her passing," Russell said.
