Brother Prince Harry initiates 'Sibling Dialogue' as Brother Prince William declines participation again

Prince Harry, back in the UK after a five-month absence, had a memorable encounter with Declan Bitmead, the 17-year-old winner of the Inspirational Young Award. During a candid conversation, the Duke of Sussex enquired about Declan's family life and revealed a light-hearted jest about his own family.

Declan, who hails from Yorkshire, shared that he and his younger brother Dylan get along just fine. The Prince, known for his humour, joked about driving his brother mad, a remark that seemed to be a playful nod to his own relationship with his brother, Prince William.

The visit, significant due to speculations of a reunion with his father, King Charles, was marked by a reported awkward encounter between the two princes. However, Prince Harry's interaction with Declan was filled with warmth and laughter. He poked fun at his own appearance, joking about his baldness and ginger beard, and even quipped about the challenges of having a brother who attends the same school.

The Duke spent his first day in the UK attending the WellChild awards ceremony, where he spent time with inspiring children. The following day, he visited St George's Chapel in Windsor to pay his respects to his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, who was a member of the Women's Institute for 80 years. Prince William and Kate, the Princess of Wales, also visited the Women's Institute to honour the Queen.

Prince Harry's current visit to the UK is scheduled for four days, during which he has a series of official engagements planned. Despite the reported diminishing chances of reconciliation between him and his brother, Prince William, the Duke's visit seems to be focused on his humanitarian work and honouring his late grandmother.
