Prince William and Prince Harry recently joined their mom’s side of the family at a commemoration service for their late uncle, Lord Robert Fellows.

Prince William, the Prince of Wales, attended the graduation ceremony for King Charles III at the Imperial Flying Corps School Cranwell in Sleaford, Britain, on September 12th, 2024.

Lady Sarah, who supported her nephew at the Sovereign’s motorcade at the Imperial Aviation-based Armed Forces School in Cranwell, Lincolnshire, was also present.

The Prince of Wales appeared at the graduation on behalf of his father, King Charles.

Rebecca English of the Daily Mail revealed that Sarah was there. “I’m informed she heard he was nearby and wanted to support him,” English wrote on X. Her post included a video showing Lady Sarah behind the scenes while Prince William spoke at a gathering after the motorcade. He joined graduating officials and their friends and family to learn more about their experiences at RAF Cranwell and their future careers.

“While I didn’t graduate on this exact parade ground, I graduated from flying training here, so I know something about the celebrations that will come later. So I promise I’ll only take a few moments of your time,” the Prince of Wales humorously told the alumni in his message. The Royal also acknowledged the support of the most recent class of RAF cadets to the families and friends assembled, saying, “Thank you for your support and understanding to get these splendid people this far and for the sympathy, sacrifice, and dedication that will be needed to give these officials each chance of success in their careers.”

William earned his wings at the airbase in 2008, in a ceremony attended by Kate Middleton, King Charles, the future Queen Camilla, and Lady Sarah.

While her life is away from the spotlight, similar to Diana’s other sister, Lady Jane Fellows, and brother, Charles Spencer, she and her siblings have often supported Prince William and Prince Harry. Lady Sarah and Lady Jane were present when Prince William and Prince Harry unveiled Princess Diana’s memorial statue at Kensington Palace on what would have been her 60th birthday in July 2021. They all reunited recently at the commemoration service for Jane’s late husband, Lord Robert Fellows, on August 29th.

Robert, who spent much of his career in the Royal family and served as Queen Elizabeth’s private secretary from 1990 to 1999, passed away on July 29th at age 82 from undisclosed causes. He was honored at a private service in Norfolk a month later. The ceremony took on additional significance as it came just two days before the anniversary of Princess Diana’s death following a car accident in Paris on August 31st, 1997.

Despite prior reports that he wouldn’t attend, Harry’s unexpected appearance in the UK did not prompt a public reconciliation with his brother William amid their ongoing rift. Many were surprised by Harry’s attendance. One of the 300 attendees reported that Harry was in remarkable form and clearly delighted to see everyone. The Duke of Sussex stayed with his uncle, Charles, the 9th Baron Spencer, at  Althorp House following his unexpected appearance at the commemoration service.  Althorp is the Spencer family’s ancestral estate in Northamptonshire, where Princess Diana is buried.

In May, Lady Jane, Lord Spencer, and some of the Spencer cousins supported Prince Harry at the 10-year commemoration service for the Invictus Games at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, an event that no senior members of the Royal family attended. Harry’s appearance at his late uncle’s remembrance and his stay at Althorp reaffirm his strong connections with his mother’s side of the family.
