The day after the royal procession that carries Queen Elizabeth’s coffin to Westminster Abbey, so that the British can gather there, Prince William relied on this particular moment.
During a meeting this Thursday with the inhabitants of Sandringham, the new Prince of Gilles spoke of “a difficult time” in a video of our colleagues at Skynews.
He confessed that walking with his father, King Charles III, and his brother, Prince Harry, behind their grandmother’s coffin had “brought back some memories”.
“I’m not so prepared”
“It’s one of those moments where you thought I was ready for this, but I’m not so ready. It’s that kind of weird stuff…because we knew she was 96.”
This much-scrutinized image was reminiscent of when William and Harry, then two young children, had followed the coffin of their mother, Princess Diana, 25 years earlier, on September 6, 1997.
In the streets of London, packed with thousands of people, the two teenagers aged 15 and 13 had accompanied the remains of the princess for a last tribute. An event that had a lasting impact on the two princes.
Harry had mentioned in 2017 in an interview with news week do not think “that a child should be asked to do this, regardless of the circumstances. I don’t think that will happen today.”
