A friend of the Spencers told The Daily Beast: "Behind the scenes, the Spencers have been working hard to get the brothers to reconcile.
"They understand William’s hurt at Harry’s betrayal, but they also understand Harry’s position because of the way Diana was treated by the Windsors."
The friend added: "Harry is still very close to his mother’s family. If anyone can mediate between the brothers it will be Jane."
