According to eyewitnesses, William and Harry - who have been feuding for some time - did not sit together or speak to one another, with both attending the service "discreetly".
Discussing his surprise that both William and Harry attended, Reverand Tansey told the Sun: "It was only as I was greeting the congregation on the way out that Prince William was shaking my hand, and then very quickly after Prince Harry did too.
As per the official website for UK Scouts, Dwayne is the 11th Chief Scout to "lead our half a million young people and adult volunteers for his values, commitment to help young people, and outstanding leadership qualities."
The website added: "During his time as Chief Scout, Dwayne aims to inspire even more young people and adult volunteers to join from all backgrounds."
Carl Hankinson - who is UK Chief Volunteer - said: "Dwayne already has the respect of thousands of young people and volunteers in Scouts. He’s shown real commitment and kindness to Scouts in communities across the UK. As well as being an inspirational adventurer and TV presenter, he’s able to reach across generations and support Scouts serving more local communities."

Although The Princess of Wales is now back in Windsor after the summer holidays with her family, she is yet to return to work as she continues her recovery.
The princess underwent surgery in January and was later diagnosed with cancer. She has since been focusing on her recovery at home.
Prince William returned to work earlier this week, sporting a new beard that has sent fans into a frenzy.
The children also returned back to Lambrook School in Windsor for the new school term.
