Despite well-documented tensions with the Windsors, Prince Harry has remained close to his mother’s family over the years, particularly Lady Jane.
Lady Jane, the middle of the three sisters, four years older than Diana, has long been seen as a confidant and stabilizing influence in her life.
He was asked to give a reading during Harry’s wedding to Meghan in 2018 and was one of the first members to be invited to meet their young son Archie, even before Prince William.
Throughout his explosive memoir Spare gave “prominent thanks” to Lady Jane, her older sister Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer, but made no mention of the late queen, King Charles or his brother.
So it’s no surprise that two of the brothers attended yesterday’s ceremony to provide support for Diana’s youngest son.
In addition to his uncles, Harry was surrounded by several dignitaries, politicians and close friends.
His lawyer David Sherbourne was present, while former army officer Mark Dyer, who helped mentor Harry, especially after his mother’s death, was also in the congregation.
Prince Harry is expected to return to the United States today.
