King Charles' desperate seven-word plea to feuding sons William and Harry
Prince William and Prince Harry will take part in an award ceremony together to honour their late mother, Princess Diana, tonight - but they'll be marking the moment seperately.
William will attend the Diana Legacy Awards at the Science Museum in person to deliver a short speech to mark the charity's 25th anniversary. Harry, meanwhile, will meet award winners virtually after the ceremony when he speaks to them from his home in California - but only once his brother has left.
The gulf between the two princes has never been wider - and it's something that King Charles tried to address shortly after the death of his own father, Prince Philip.
It was Harry who recounted the incident in his tell-all memoir, Spare. In it, he revealed that Charles had pleaded with his two sons to stop fighting in the wake of Philip's passing in April 2021.
The monarch is said to have urged them to make peace at Windsor after the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral.

In a tense meeting, a grieving Charles is said to have looked up at William and Harry's "flushed faces" and said: "Please, boys. Don't make my final years a misery."
It comes after former royal bodyguard Ken Wharfe spoke out about his time working with the brothers when they were young children. He was employed by the royal family from 1986 until 1993.
Prince William and Prince Harry were once incredibly close. "It was a very happy union. It was a very happy family," Mr Wharfe said. But since the brothers got married and began to lead separate lives, they have become somewhat estranged. In recent years, Harry has unleashed explosive claims about his brother and family, with him even alleging a physical fight between the pair in his book.
Speaking about William and Harry's childhood, Mr Wharfe said that "Harry was always the joker, the entertainer", before touching on "sibling rivalry" between the brothers. He added: "I suppose it would be quite common for the sort of sibling rivalry that was, for the eldest William to be slightly nervous or envious of Harry because he was so popular."
He then reaffirmed that Harry was the "entertainer" and the "court jester" in his chat with The Sun, with William finding it "slightly different". But Mr Wharfe did add that the pair "were funny".
