Two feuding families were today reunited to pay tribute to the Queen and her record-breaking 70-year reign, but the distance between them could not have been more evident.

The other, who ditched their royal roles in favour of earning millions in the corporate world and a rumoured reality TV-style documentary about their new lives away from The Firm.
