Prince William and Harry still aren't thought to be on the best terms amid their so-called royal rift. But could a celebrity come to their rescue and help the pair sort out their differences?
Step forward, American rapper and potential royal peacekeeper Snoop Dogg.
The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker, who was previously invited to perform at William's stag do, has vowed to "help heal" the estranged brothers' relationship.
He is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying, "Harry and William, I have known for a long time now. Harry asked me to perform at William’s bachelor party, but I couldn’t make it. Anything they want to perform at now, I am there.
"They are brothers, man. Anything that gets them in the same room and being brothers again will be worth it. Life is too short to not make things right, and if Snoop can help heal that relationship, then let’s do it."
But will Snoop or any other celebrities or royals be successful in inspiring William and Harry to reunite?
Whoever steps forward to try might have their work cut out, because there is plenty of water under the bridge.

Harry and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, stepped down as senior royals in January 2020, and six months later they relocated to California.
Since then, the couple have made some claims about their fellow royals, including when Harry spoke out about his family in a bombshell Netflix documentary series, Harry & Meghan, which aired in December 2022.
And in his 2023 memoir, Spare, he alleged William had physically attacked him.
He wrote in the book: "He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast.
"He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out."
But if anyone can help to heal their rift, is Snoop the man?
The rapper is 5/4 favourite to inspire a reconnection between the warring siblings, and Sir Elton John – who was a good friend of the pair's late mother, Princess Diana – is just 2/1.
But Snoop's comments could spark others into action, including Hollywood actor Tom Hanks.
William and Cast Away actor Hanks have a huge passion in common – they both support Premier League giants Aston Villa Football Club. And it looks like the pair might be rubbing shoulders together at a match soon.
Villa will head to Paris to play Paris Saint-Germain in a huge Champions League quarter-final clash on April 9th, and William and Hanks are set to be invited.
Sources contacted by Get French Football News recently revealed PSG's president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is to invite the Royal and the Forrest Gump star, as well as all former presidents of the French club, to the match at their Parc des Princes stadium.
Hanks is also known to Harry, after the pair both appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2023. During the episode, the pair both starred in a sketch in which Harry poked fun at himself.
In the skit, Stephen was waiting impatiently as Harry walked around a corner and two trumpeters, who looked like royal officials, began to play. Harry then told him, "Woah, woah, woah, stop, Stephen, not needed but thank you. I appreciate it."
But Stephen replied, "What are you talking about? This isn’t for you, get out of the way, he’s coming!" Hanks then appeared and said, "I'm back. Where's my fanfare?"
The Green Mile actor is just 13/8 to have a hand in healing the so-called royal feud between William and Harry, while his fellow Hollywood actor George Clooney is 10/3 and British actor and former The Late Late Show host James Corden is 9/2.
Clooney was thought to be close to Harry and Meghan, and Corden also grew close to Harry during his time fronting the late-night talk show.
He's known for his MAGA (Make America Great Again) slogan, but perhaps Donald Trump could try MWAHGA (Make William and Harry Great Again) instead?
The US president thinks he can fix just about everything in the world, so someone may as well let him have a go at healing William and Harry's relationship.
However, he might get short shrift from Harry after a recent comment he made about Meghan.
Following recent calls by some in the US to deport Harry after his immigration status came into question, the US president insisted he wouldn't chuck Harry out of America – but he used the opportunity to have a dig at Meghan.
When asked if he will deport Harry, he told the New York Post newspaper: "I would rather not do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible."
However, at 4/1, Trump might fancy his chances of patching up the royal rift. He appears to have a better chance than talk show host Oprah Winfrey, who is a 16/1 outsider to become peacemaker for Harry and William.
It's possible, but Oprah has very much nailed her colours to the Team Harry and Meghan mask in the past few years.
In March 2021, a year after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to the US, Harry and Meghan gave a tell-all interview to Oprah, which featured numerous claims, including an allegation that William's wife, Duchess Catherine, had made Meghan "cry" over a flower girl dress ahead of her and Harry's wedding.

Meghan also claimed in the interview that during her time in the Royal Family there were "concerns and conversations" about "how dark" her then-unborn son Archie's "skin might be when he's born".
This sparked a Palace witch hunt on social media.
While Snoop and co might give it a go, William and Harry's best chance of reunion help might come from one of the Royal Family.
Their father Prince Charles is just 6/4 to help heal the pair's rift, or perhaps the princes might take advice from royals closer to their own age, like Princess Eugenie (3/1), Zara Tindall (7/2), or Princess Beatrice (6/1).
What's more, some of their mutual pals could encourage one to extend an olive branch to the other.
British businessman Hugh Grosvenor (5/2) is close to both William and Harry, as the godfather to William and Catherine's son Prince George and to Harry and Meghan's son Prince Archie.
What's more, businessman Guy Pelly (5/1) has previously been described as the "third brother" of William and Harry.
Both attended Guy's wedding in 2014, and the business owner, who is Prince Louis' godfather, organised Prince William's stag do in 2011.
Good luck to whoever has a go – be that celebrities, royals or friends of the pair – Britain is counting on you!
