Prince Harry makes last-minute trip to the UK for uncle's funeral: reports
Prince Harry has reportedly made a last-minute trip to the UK to attend his uncle's funeral.
It is reported both Harry and estranged brother Prince William were at Robert Fellowes' funeral at St Mary's Church in Snettisham, Norfolk earlier this week, although it isn't known if the pair spoke or even crossed paths.
Fellowes was Princess Diana's brother-in-law. He died on July 29 at the age of 82 of undisclosed causes.

It was initially believed the Duke of Sussex would not travel to the UK for the funeral due to ongoing security concerns following his resignation as a senior working royal in 2022.
Reports state Harry, 39, flew from LA to the UK on August 27 to attend the event alongside his family.
Lord Fellowes was Queen Elizabeth II's former private secretary and brother-in-law to Diana, Princess of Wales, making him uncle to Prince William and Prince Harry.

For his nine years as the late Queen's right-hand man, Lord Fellowes was the most influential figure in her life and by her Late Majesty's side for some of the most turbulent moments of her 70-year reign.
The announcement of Lord Fellowes' death immediately sparked speculation over whether Prince Harry would return to the UK for the farewell, potentially coming face to face with his estranged brother.
Harry has previously cited security concerns when discussing potential trips to the UK.
Instead of automatic police protection for Prince Harry when he visits the UK, a bespoke arrangement was created that involves assessing each visit on its merits.

He is now required to give at least 28 days' notice of his visits to the UK, including all details of his travel arrangements, to allow the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) to assess his security requirements.
However, the duke has been denied almost every request, except for the odd occasion when he has travelled to or from a royal event, such as the coronation in 2023.
