Prince Harry and Prince William are "trying their best" to get along for the Queen, despite being "uncomfortable" for them.
Since the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8 the two brothers, who have been estranged for years, have been forced to spend time together, with Harry reportedly finding it “difficult” being in William’s company at times.
Despite the uncomfortableness for the brothers a source close to Harry told the Sunday Times of London that “everybody is trying their best.”

Last week the Prince of Wales, 40, and the Duke of Sussex, 38, delighted royal fans when they appeared alongside their respective wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, viewing floral tributes and cards laid outside Windsor Castle in honour of the late monarch.
The outing, however, was marked by awkward body language displayed by both Markle, 41, and Middleton, 40, who appeared uncomfortable during their reunion.
On Saturday evening (September 17), they also stood vigil – alongside their cousins – by the late monarch’s casket.

Prince Harry wore his military uniform after getting special permission from King Charles III, having previously been forced to wear civilian clothes at public events since the Queen died due to being stripped of his military titles when he stepped down from his royal duties in 2020.
The two brothers also shared a brief encounter earlier this week when William – who was collecting kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis from school – drove past his brother and Meghan while they were in a separate car.
They reportedly drove past each other but then stopped, reversed and rolled down their windows for a brief chat.
A friend of the brothers revealed that the joint appearances “take effort” and they both understood it was needed to show “solidarity.”
The brother’s relationship has been frosty since at least since 2019 when Harry shared in an interview that he and William were “certainly on different paths at the moment.”
Relationships receded further when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – who quit royal life in 2020 and moved to California – sat down for a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.
Markle recently gave another interview in which she claimed that she and Harry were “upsetting the hierarchy … just by existing.”
Harry also has a memoir coming out early next year which is reportedly full of truth bombs.
Friends of Harry previously shared that while his fraternal relationship is still raw, he could not be happier or more fulfilled by his family dynamic with Markle and their children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one.
