Sharon Osbourne was happy to see Prince Harry reunite with his brother, Prince William, following the death of their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
“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.
As for whether she thinks the estranged brothers will be able to repair their relationship, the former “Talk” host said, “I hope so.”
The Duke of Sussex, the Prince of Wales and their respective wives, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, reunited last weekend for a walkabout at Windsor Castle where they viewed tributes left for the late Queen.
The brothers, who have had a tumultuous relationship since Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, gave up their royal duties in 2020, also walked side by side as they followed the Queen’s casket during a memorial service Wednesday.
Page Six reported that the brothers also dined together after receiving the Queen’s coffin at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday night.
Osbourne has spoken out in the past about feeling “sorry” for the Sussexes.
“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 TV personality added that it must be hard for Harry to grapple with the idea that his children won’t be growing up with their cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents the same way that William’s kids will.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex currently reside in California with their two kids, Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 1, while the Prince, 40, and Princess of Wales, 40, live with their three children — Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 — across the pond.
Osbourne has been a harsh critic of the royal family in the past and even defended Piers Morgan when he was fired from “Good Morning Britain” for his constant criticism of Markle. in March 2021.
