This is thought to be the closest the two have been since the former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The Sun has reported that the brothers did not see each other and have no plans to.

On the morning of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor's 66th birthday (February 19) police descended on Wood Farm in Wolferton, where he has been staying since being evicted from Royal Lodge in Windsor at the start of this year.

Officers searched both properties and Mr Mountbatten-Windsor spent 11 hours in custody at Aylsham Police Station before being released under investigation.

Just hours after the arrest, the King released a statement which said: "I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office."

"What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.

"In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.

"Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.

"As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter.

"Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R."

It is thought the statement is supported by the Prince and Princess of Wales.
