The British royal family, known for their calm demeanor, is grieving the loss. Prince William and Duchess Catherine are mourning the loss of Sir Robert. He played a major role in their lives as the husband of Lady Jane Fellows, Diana's younger sister. Sir Robert had a significant influence on both Prince William and Prince Harry during their childhoods.

This week, Prince William and Prince Harry are expected to attend their uncle's memorial service at St. Mary's Cathedral together. The event will bring the brothers together for the first time in months amid ongoing tensions within the royal family.
