Did Prince Charles cry at Diana’s funeral?

Princess Diana captivated people all over the world because she was the most well-known woman in the world. Princess Diana’s tragic death on August 31, 1997, as a result of a car accident in Paris, was only to be expected. Princess Diana’s passing quickly became the talk of the media. Her funeral in London was one of the most watched TV events in history a week later, on September 6, 1997. As a final thank you and farewell to the beloved People’s Princess, thousands of mourners lined the streets to pay their respects, and millions of flowers were left at her residence, Kensington Palace.

Princess Diana conspiracy theories are still prevalent more than 20 years after her passing, and stories about her brief but significant life continue to hold people’s attention. The statue will be unveiled at Kensington Palace this summer on July 1—Diana’s 60th birthday—by her sons Prince William and Prince Harry.

Pictures from Princess Diana’s funeral, the tragic day when everyone around the world came to lament her passing, are shown here.

The tragic image of young Prince William, 15, and Prince Harry, 12, lonesomely following their mother’s casket, has left an indelible mark on the public’s memory. The two followed their uncle Charles, Earl Spencer, and were flanked by Prince Charles and Prince Philip. When Prince Philip passed away earlier this year, his daughter Princess Anne told reporters that Prince Philip gave his grandsons the confidence to walk alongside each other by supporting them.

Prince Harry acknowledged that it was traumatic even with his family by his side in an interview with Newsweek.

I had to walk a long way behind my mother’s coffin after she passed away, with thousands of people watching me while millions more watched on television, Harry recalled. “Under no circumstances, in my opinion, should a child be asked to perform that task. I don’t believe it would occur today.

Did Prince Charles cry at Diana’s funeral?

Prince Charles was devastated by Princess Diana’s passing, despite the fact that they had been legally divorced for just over a year following a four-year separation. He was in such a state of distress. In the 2017 television documentary Diana: 7 Days That Shook the Windsors, Tina Brown, the author of The Diana Chronicles, said that he “fell apart.”

In contrast to William, Harry, Prince Philip, and Earl Spencer, who all wore black suits to Diana’s funeral, he chose to wear a blue suit. But it was more than just a careless fashion choice; it had deeper significance. Brian Hoey, a royal author, claims that Charles picked the Savile Row suit because it was his favorite and one that Diana had picked out for him.
