Harry, 36, is flying back to LA to be reunited with wife Meghan, 39, and their children Archie and Lilibet after yesterday's unveiling of a statue in honour of his mum, Princess Diana.
His departure comes after Harry and Prince William, 39, were reunited as for the event in Kensington Palace's Sunken Garden.
Harry shared a glass of champagne with his brother, but left just 20 minutes later after unveiling the sculpture honouring their mum.
HARRY HEADS HOME TO MEGHAN
The royal pair even laughed and joked together as they came face to face for the first time since Prince Philip's funeral in April.
It appeared Harry and William had put aside their differences to honour Princess Diana and even shared a glass of bubbly after the event at around 2.45pm.
But just 20 minutes later Harry was pictured driving out of Kensington Palace in a Range Rover.
Meghan stayed in the US after giving birth to Lilibet last month.
Harry's departure comes a week after he touched down in the UK last Friday.
He was picked up on the Heathrow tarmac after landing for this week's Princess Diana statue unveiling.
The brothers appeared close on Thursday afternoon - raising the hopes of millions that their feud may now be behind them.
They entered the Sunken Garden together, with Harry clapping his hands in anticipation as they approached the statue.
BROTHERS REUNITED
They were welcomed by Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, their former private secretary, who is godfather to Prince George.
Both held the green curtain draped over the memorial and William asked "ready?" before they pulled it off in sync to reveal the touching artwork.
It was reported that Harry could host a 'lad's lunch' with his ex-Army pals and old school friends before jetting back to LA.
Rumours suggested he was eager to catch up with old pals - and a 'lad's lunch' could have been on the cards, the reports.
But it's not know if Harry joined his friends before flying back to the US.
Covid restrictions meant only 13 guests were allowed in for yesterday's unveiling ceremony.
Sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley’s artwork is now up in the Sunken Garden, a place Diana loved and which now boasts 4,000-plus individual flowers.
The artist said Diana “was an icon who touched the lives of people right around the world so it has been a privilege to work alongside Prince William and Prince Harry”.
In a joint statement issued afterwards, the brothers said: “Today, on what would have been our mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character — qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.
“Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen for ever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.
