The families Christmas’ apart come two months after Harry admitted he and William aren’t as close as they used to be. 

Speaking on an ITV documentary in October, the prince refused to deny a falling out with his brother when asked to put rift rumours to bed.

He told presenter Tom Bradby: ‘Part of this role, part of this job and this family being under the pressure it is under, inevitably stuff happens.

‘But look, we are brothers, we will always be brothers. We are certainly on different paths at the moment but I will always be there for him and, as I know, he will always be there for me.

‘We don’t see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy but I love him dearly and the majority of stuff is created out of nothing. As brothers, you have good days, you have bad days.’
