The former press secretary for both Prince William and Prince Harry has spoken of the 'deep rift' between the pair. Ed Perkins appeared on Good Morning Britain alongside Ed Balls to chat to Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard ahead of the Queen's state funeral later this morning.

Ed was the assistant editor of the ITN Evening News and had worked as news producer for the BBC and a business and economics producer for ITV before being appointed assistant press secretary to the late Queen in 2007, a role he held for five years.

He then became communications secretary to the now Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke of Sussex. Ben asked Mr Perkins about the brothers, commenting: "It has been really heartening for us to seem them walking together, seeing them in Windsor looking at flowers and meeting some members of the public with their wives.

Ed replied: "You'd hope so wouldn't you?

I was there in 2012 to 2014 so they were then the 'Fab Three' and for a brief period 'The Fab Four' and when we saw them together when they worked together as a three and then a four, they were just invincible." Mr Balls chipped in to mention how mental health was a huge part of their charity work together before Mr Perkins continued: "It was just utterly brilliant.
