Royal fans have highlighted a subtle tribute to Prince Harry and Princess Diana which is on display in Prince William's London home at Kensington Palace.
Resurfaced footage from a behind-the-scenes video marking King Charles III's coronation featuring the tribute has gone viral on social media site TikTok.
The tribute comes as fans have increased their focus on Harry and William's relationship in recent months, after Harry published his memoir Spare, in 2023, which made several revelations about William.

Among these, the prince said that he and his brother had never been as close as the palace and media had portrayed them to the public, recounting a breakdown in relations in 2019 that led to a physical altercation over Meghan Markle's treatment of palace staff.
Despite family tensions, social media users have highlighted that just five months after Spare's release, William still displayed a touching reminder of his brother at his London home.

In May, Kensington Palace released a short film of behind-the-scenes footage from King Charles III's coronation weekend, which showed members of the Wales family, including the Princess of Wales, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, preparing for the ceremony.
Uploaded to TikTok by user, danideeeee1, on March 3, a resurfaced clip from this footage shows William, Kate, Charlotte and Louis in their robes and costumes for the coronation at Kensington Palace, where the prince and princess have lived since 2013.
The public has rarely seen inside the private apartment at the palace, with the coronation footage presenting an opportunity not only to see the interiors but the objects with which they are decorated—including family photographs.
Captioned "This photo in William's home," the viral footage highlights a framed photograph displayed on a piano in one of the reception rooms.
The image shows William alongside Harry and Princess Diana, shot in black and white, in a portrait that was used by the princess for her official Christmas card in 1995.
The portrait was clearly one of Diana's favorites as she kept a framed copy on her desk, which was carefully reconstructed from her personal items for a display at Buckingham Palace in 2017, marking the 20th anniversary of her death.
The TikTok video highlighting the inclusion of Harry and Diana's photo in William's home has been viewed over 120,000 times on the social media site so far, gaining in excess of 6,000 likes and numerous comments.
Following Harry's split from the monarchy and move to the U.S. in 2020, he and William have rarely appeared together in public. The last event they attended together was King Charles' coronation, and despite media speculation and anticipation from the public, the brothers were not seen to have interacted on the day.
