Prince Harry and Prince William have had a strained relationship recently, but recent reports suggest that the brothers have reconnected. With their father, Prince Charles, testing positive for COVID-19, Harry and William were finally able to put aside their differences.

Katie Nicholl, a royal expert, told Entertainment Tonight about their strengthening relationship: "There have been clearly some quite major rifts in that relationship, but things have got better and I know that William and Harry are in touch on the phone."
She points to Prince Charles' illness as the reason behind their renewed connection: "They have done video calls together, they have done a lot of family birthdays and I think with Prince Charles not being well, that really forced the brothers to pick up the phone and get back in touch."
Prince Charles, 71, announced that he has tested positive for coronavirus on March 25, reporting that he was experiencing mild symptoms. Since then, the Prince of Wales has made a full recovery.
The suspected drama between Harry and William was amplified by the tension between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, and, of course, Harry and Meghan's decision to leave the royal family.
Nicholl continued, "I think there is a sense of relief on both sides that this high drama is now a thing of the past. The Sussexes are free to get on with their new lives [and] the Cambridges can get back to their old lives without all the upset and drama that was clearly a big deal behind the scenes. I think Kate and William miss Harry and Meghan to a degree, but certainly they miss Harry [being] around and part of their lives."
