Breaking News: As Prince Harry turns 40, he is increasingly aligning himself with Princess Diana’s aristocratic family of rebels….see more

The funeral of Lord Robert Fellowes, brother-in-law to Princess Diana and a cherished advisor to Queen Elizabeth II, was always going to be a star-studded affair.

But there was one guest in the pews who turned heads as soon as he entered the little chapel in Norfolk.

Prince Harry, King Charles III’s wayward second son, was a surprise mourner among the congregation.

His trip to the UK was kept a secret from the press, and while his brother Prince William was also at the funeral, witnesses say they maintained a careful distance from one another.

Now 40, Harry has not only transitioned from the cheeky, rebellious spare into a husband and father with deep roots in California, he has increasingly aligned himself with Diana’s family, the Spencers, over the House of Windsor.

After Lord Fellowes’ funeral, Harry reportedly stayed with his uncle, Earl Spencer, at the family’s ancestral home of Althorp.
