No Child Should Have to do That
Princess Diana’s funeral was watched by millions worldwide, bringing tears for the loss of the beloved Princess of Wales and sympathy for her grieving sons. Seeing Harry and William solemnly escorting their mother’s coffin was enough to tug at anyone’s heartstrings. Prince Philip encouraged his grandsons to walk in the procession, thinking it might be something they regret… However, that wasn’t the case.
In 2017, Harry told Newsweek, “My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television; I don’t think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don’t think it would happen today.” Perhaps they shouldn’t have encouraged the kids to walk that day.
