After the passing of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, Sharon Osbourne was relieved to see Prince Harry reunited with his brother, Prince William.
“To see them walking side by side, it just brings back [memories]. I look at Harry and think, ‘This is where you belong. The people really want you to come home, this is where you belong, being our prince,’” Osbourne told Extra in an interview published Thursday.
In response to a question about whether or not she believes the estranged brothers will be able to mend their relationship, the former host of “Talk” shared her thoughts as follows: “I hope so.”
The Duke of Sussex, the Prince of Wales, and their respective wives, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton got together over the weekend for a walkabout at Windsor Castle. While there, they viewed the various tributes that had been left for the Queen, who had recently passed away.
The brothers, who have had a rocky relationship ever since Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, gave up their royal duties in 2020, also walked side by side as they followed the casket of the Queen during a memorial service on Wednesday. The service was held in her honor.
According to sources, the brothers had dinner together at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday night after receiving the Queen’s coffin. This took place after the funeral service for the Queen.
Osbourne has been heard publicly expressed in the past that he feels “sorry” for the Sussex family.
“The royal family has always been like a Shakespearean play for me. I have to tell you when I saw them [Harry and Meghan] earlier on … I felt sorry for them. And the way that they were parted from the family,” she told Fox News in June after Markle and Harry were met with boos while attending the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
“I do feel sorry for [Prince Harry] because I think that there must be a huge part of him that regrets [his decision],” she continued.
The British television personality went on to say that it must be difficult for Prince Harry to come to terms with the idea that his children will not be able to grow up with their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents in the same manner that William’s children will be able to do.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex live in California with their two children, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, while the Prince and Princess of Wales live across the pond with their three children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have two children: Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1.
Osbourne has a history of being a harsh critic of the royal family, and in March 2021, when Piers Morgan was fired from “Good Morning Britain” for his persistent criticism of Markle, Osbourne defended him. Osbourne has also been a harsh critic of the royal family in the past.
