Prince Harry and his father Prince Charles are reportedly planning to take a walk together in Windsor to view floral tributes left for Prince Philip.
Their relationship has been strained since Harry and his wife Meghan moved to the US and gave a television interview to Oprah Winfrey in which they claimed a family member had expressed concern about the skin colour of their unborn son.
Harry is scheduled to fly back to the US imminently but it has been suggested he might delay his return so he can be with Queen Elizabeth II, his grandmother, when she marks her 95th birthday on Wednesday.
Harry has been self-isolating following his return to the UK, staying at Frogmore Cottage within the grounds of Windsor Castle, about 40 kilometres west of London.
He was given compassionate leave on Saturday to attend his grandfather's funeral.
It was the first time he has been seen publicly with royal relatives since he left the UK.
Floral tributes placed outside the castle grounds during the funeral were taken inside the walls for the royal family to view.
"There has been talk that Charles will walk around Windsor with Harry to look at some of the tributes and spend some time together," the Mail On Sunday quoted a royal source as saying.
Officials at Clarence House, Prince Charles' residence, told The National there would be no comment on any "private time" the pair have together.
Prince Harry was reunited with his brother Prince William and his father for two hours after the funeral.
The three met up away from the cameras following Saturday’s televised service.
Harry was seen chatting with his brother as the pair left the funeral with Prince William's wife, Kate.
A royal insider told The Sun that their discussion was the "first step" to a mending of their relationship that "Prince Philip would have wished for".
The queen and her family paid their last respects to Prince Philip at a funeral on Saturday.
He died at Windsor Castle aged 99 after a month of hospital treatment for a heart condition and an infection.
His coffin, covered with his personal standard, a wreath, his sword and naval cap, was placed on a Land Rover that he had adapted for the occasion.
The queen led the funeral procession as her children and grandchildren walked behind the hearse.
Prince William and Prince Harry, who as young boys walked behind their mother Diana’s coffin at her funeral in 1997, followed the procession on foot, but not side by side.
Between them was their cousin, Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips.
Prince William, Harry's elder brother, was prompted to deny last month that the royals were racist after the comments made during the Oprah Winfrey interview.
“We are very much not a racist family,” he said.

Virtual banks explained
What is a virtual bank?
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority defines it as a bank that delivers services through the internet or other electronic channels instead of physical branches. That means not only facilitating payments but accepting deposits and making loans, just like traditional ones. Other terms used interchangeably include digital or digital-only banks or neobanks. By contrast, so-called digital wallets or e-wallets such as Apple Pay, PayPal or Google Pay usually serve as intermediaries between a consumer’s traditional account or credit card and a merchant, usually via a smartphone or computer.
What’s the draw in Asia?
Hundreds of millions of people under-served by traditional institutions, for one thing. In China, India and elsewhere, digital wallets such as Alipay, WeChat Pay and Paytm have already become ubiquitous, offering millions of people an easy way to store and spend their money via mobile phone. Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines are also among the world’s biggest under-banked countries; together they have almost half a billion people.
Is Hong Kong short of banks?
No, but the city is among the most cash-reliant major economies, leaving room for newcomers to disrupt the entrenched industry. Ant Financial, an Alibaba Group Holding affiliate that runs Alipay and MYBank, and Tencent Holdings, the company behind WeBank and WeChat Pay, are among the owners of the eight ventures licensed to create virtual banks in Hong Kong, with operations expected to start as early as the end of the year.
