Saturday, September 6 will mark the 28th anniversary of Princess Diana's funeral, and one memory that's stuck in the public's minds is the image of Prince Harry and Prince William walking behind their mother's coffin through the streets of London. But in Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, he revealed that one member of his family fought for the boys to be left out of the funeral procession.
In the book, the Duke of Sussex wrote of the period leading up to his mother's 1997 funeral, recalling, "There was some discussion about the next day’s funeral. Per the latest plan, the coffin would be pulled through the streets on a horse-drawn carriage by the King’s Troop while Willy and I followed on foot." Harry continued, "It seemed a lot to ask of two young boys," noting that "several adults were aghast" and "Mummy’s brother, Uncle Charles, raised hell."
