Prince William and Prince Harry's teary-eyed reunion goes viral as AI image racks up thousands of likes

The images accumulated more than 78,000 likes on the social media platform.

Full Fact found that the pictures were originally published in a blog post where the author explained that they had used an image generator to "imagine a heartfelt reconciliation" between the brothers.

In reality, the brothers were not pictured directly together during the King's Coronation.

Prince Harry attended the landmark event on his own as Meghan Markle chose to remain in the US with their two young children Archie and Lilibet.

The Duke of Sussex was relegated to the third row in Westminster Abbey where he sat alongside other non-working members of the Royal Family.

Prince William, who is the heir apparent, played a key role in his father's Coronation.

Prince Harry and the Prince of Wales are not currently on speaking terms.

The Duke of Sussex released his autobiography titled Spare in January and it contained multiple attacks on his brother.

Omid Scobie, a royal author with links to Meghan and Harry, claimed in his book Endgame that William ignored his brother on the day Queen Elizabeth II died.
