They were said to have sat apart at the back of the church in Snettisham, Norfolk.
Sources close to US-based Harry, 39, had previously claimed he would not attend.
But a close family friend said they were “very happy to confirm both princes were there”.
Another source told how they saw them only at the end of the service in St Mary’s Church.
