Minecraft realms is stuck on "Connecting to Realms" screen

Whenever I try to join my friend's realm the screen always gets stuck on Connecting to Realm. The screen isn't frozen as I can still see the bar beneath the "Connecting to Realm" moving up and down, the only issue is that I never got to enter the realm as the screen would always be stuck there. I have tried to change my firewall settings and I tried using different WiFi but the result was still the same. If someone could help me resolve this issue it would be great! Thanks :>

The screen looked like the pic in the attachment
