I think, I don't know for certain, but I think if the Queen could have stood watching it, she'd be both relieved and happy.

Unity is far better than division.
If it can ever be healed, it needs to start somewhere.
Which it seems may have had a spark to beginning today.
Hopefully they, as a family can and will work things out further.
That I think, would be good to see.

Plus too, I may get jumped on here, not by you, however I was kind of pleased Prince Andrew came out in Scotland too.
He too has lost his Mother, a Mother who adored him it's said.
He has to live with the difficulty he brought to her the rest of his life.
However he is still her son and she clearly loved him.

You are right Joey…they couldn’t have done that without an invite. So fair play to William. I would imagine he did that in respect of the Queen.
Andrew had as much right to be there today..at times like this it is only right to bury the hatchet even if it’s only temporarily.
