The statue unveiling will be the first time Harry and William appear together since the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Phillip.
It is only the second time the brothers will appear together since Harry and wife Meghan Markle‘s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The pair is expected to walk together to the statue, which will be placed in the gardens at Kensington Palace, before they each give a speech.
William’s wife Kate Middleton is said to be acting as something of a mediator between the two brothers to help them put on a united front at the unveiling.

Sources have said that Kate has seen the Princess Di statue project through from the beginning and despite any tension between the Royals and Harry, they all “want the day to be solely about the Princess of Wales’s enduring legacy.”
The Diana memorial was commissioned by both Harry and William in 2017 to “recognize her positive impact in the United Kingdom and around the world.”
It will be installed at the Sunken Gardens, which was believed to be Diana’s favorite spot on the Kensington Palace grounds.
