The relationship between Prince William and his brother Harry is considered tense. But of all things the victory of the English national team over Germany should have brought a rapprochement.
“Another England win!” Another victory for England, the Daily Mail cheered this Thursday. Even on day 2 after the Three Lions won the last 16 against the German national soccer team, the country is in a state of ecstasy. The euphoric headline, however, did not refer to England’s quarter-finals – but to the two Princes William and Harry.
Today, Thursday, a statue will be inaugurated in London in honor of their mother Diana – on this occasion, Harry set off from California to his old home to attend the ceremony.
In the run-up, there had been a lot of speculation in the media about the broken relationship between the brothers, which apparently did not improve even at the last meeting on the occasion of the funeral service for Prince Philip in April. William’s bitterness about the constant indiscretions that Harry and his wife Meghan have leaked in public interviews is too deep for William.

Many observers hope that honoring her beloved mother Diana will reconcile the estranged brothers. And as the British media unanimously report, there is even said to have been an initial contact.
Football has broken the ice. “There was an exchange of news, especially about football. This is a step in the right direction, if only to honor your mother,” a source told the Daily Mail.
William was personally at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday with his wife Kate and son George and followed the triumph of the English over feared opponents Germany live. Harry was still in quarantine at Frogmore Cottage for five days at the time.
That the brothers are talking to each other is a good sign. But there is still a long way to go before final reconciliation. After all: the first step has been taken.
