Prince Harry and Prince William were seen talking after Prince Philip's funeral.

Harry, William, and Kate Middleton chatted as they left the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral.

The conversation marks the first time the brothers have spoken in public since Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

NBC captured the conversation in a video, and TODAY shared it to Twitter.

Philip's funeral was on April 17, 2021, at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Both William and Harry walked in their grandfather's funeral procession with seven other members of their family, including their father, Prince Charles.

The brothers did not walk side by side in the procession, which Buckingham Palace said was "a practical change rather than sending a signal" in a statement to People.

"This is a funeral and we are not going to be drawn into perceptions of drama. The arrangements have been agreed and represent Her Majesty's wishes," the spokesperson said.

The brothers' chat after the funeral appears to confirm the Palace's statement that the brothers weren't walking separately because of tension between them, and it could even hint at a path towards reconciliation.

Harry confirmed the rift in his relationship with William by saying they were on "different paths" in October 2019, and in their interview with Winfrey, Harry and Markle claimed that senior members of the royal family made racist comments about Archie's skin.

Harry told Gayle King that his conversations with his brother and father following the Oprah interview were "not productive," so the chat between the brothers could indicate they are working on their relationship in the wake of their grandfather's death.
