•  You can’t make these boys walk behind their mother’s coffin!
• It’s barbaric, Harry writes in his book, Spare.

Prince Harry describes how, for aesthetic reasons, he was instructed to follow his mother’s casket.

The Duke of Sussex describes how his uncle Charles Spencer fought Palace officials to protect him and Prince William from going through a painful day alone in his autobiography, “Spare.”

“Several adults were aghast. Mummy’s brother, Uncle Charles, raised hell. You can’t make these boys walk behind their mother’s coffin! It’s barbaric. An alternative plan was put forward. Willy would walk alone. He was fifteen, after all. Leave the younger one out of it. Spare the Spare,” he notes.

Harry adds in his book: “This alternative plan was sent up the chain. Back came the answer. It must be both princes. To garner sympathy, presumably. Uncle Charles was furious. But I wasn’t. I didn’t want Willy to undergo an ordeal like that without me. Had the roles been reversed, he’d never have wanted me—indeed, allowed me—to go it alone.”
