Despite ongoing estrangement from the royal family, Prince Harry is reportedly maintaining strong ties with his mother's family, the Spencers. Following a recent trip to the UK for a memorial service for his late uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, Harry stayed at Althorp House, the Spencer family's ancestral home. Royal expert Jennie Bond emphasized that this connection is significant for Harry, providing him with an emotional anchor in the UK. The Spencers have kept communication open with Harry, which is viewed as a positive development amid his strained relationship with the Windsors. Notably, during the memorial service, Harry and his brother Prince William did not interact, highlighting the ongoing rift between them. Bond remarked that while reconciliation with the royal family may be distant, the connection to the Spencers remains crucial for Harry.
