Prince Harry could return to the UK to attend his uncle's funeral "if it doesn't cause too much drama," according to a royal insider.
The Duke of Sussex has reportedly reached out to his aunt, Princess Diana's older sister Lady Jane Fellowes, following the death of her husband Robert Fellowes.
He has also spoken to his uncle Charles Spencer and his cousins, according to US Weekly.
Lord Robert Fellowes, who was Princess Diana's brother-in-law and Queen Elizabeth II's private secretary, died this week at the age of 82.
Speculation has been rife over whether Harry will return to the UK for his uncle's funeral, which could potentially lead to a face-to-face encounter with Prince William.

A friend of the royal told the Daily Beast: "In normal times it would be unimaginable that Harry would not be there to support Jane. Of course he would want to be there. It will be a huge gathering of the Spencer clan.
"But these are not normal times and it may well be that everyone feels Harry's attendance would just create too much drama. It will be very sad for him if he can't make it".
However, another royal expert suggested that the death is unlikely to mend the rift between the feuding brothers.
Royal commentator Michael Cole told MailOnline that the loss of their uncle will not be enough to bring the warring princes back together.

"Robert Fellowes' death will not affect family dynamics," he said. "Prince William and Prince Harry have always been on good terms with their late mother's sisters and brother.
"Aside from extending their sincere condolences to their aunt Jane, the death of their uncle will likely have minimal impact on the two royal princes."
He tied the knot with Lady Jane Spencer in 1978, Diana's elder sister, and they had three children - Alexander, Eleanor and Laura, who is Princess Charlotte 's godmother.
In his later years, he continued to serve as an extra equerry to Queen Elizabeth II until her passing in September 2022. He passed away due to undisclosed reasons on Monday, and funeral arrangements are yet to be announced.
