It was an emotional echo of a scene from 25 years ago, when the young William and Harry walked behind their mother Princess Diana’s coffin.
King Charles III and the Princess Royal walked behind their mother’s coffin as it was conveyed from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey for the state funeral.The Princess Royal and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke of York, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex also walked behind the Queen’s coffin, as it was carried to Westminster Abbey on the State Gun Carriage.
When the procession entered Westminster Abbey, the Princess of Wales joined to walk alongside her husband, along with their two eldest children, Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven. Their little brother, four-year-old Prince Louis, was deemed too young to join. Now that their father is first in line to the throne, the young royals will likely play a more prominent role at carefully selected occasions.
