Why did Prince William try to hide his face during Princess Diana’s funeral walk?
Prince William spoke about the difficult day that he and his 12-year-old brother, Prince Harry, walked behind the coffin of their mother, Princess Diana, during her funeral procession. He shared his thoughts in the documentary Diana: 7 Days.

Prince Harry‘s final wish after his mother, Princess Diana’s death, was refused by King Charles, claims a royal journalist. Harry was reportedly adamant about going with his father to bring Princess Diana’s body home from Paris but his request was turned down.
Prince Harry wanted to be with his father when King Charles brought Princess Diana’s body home
Royal journalist and friend of the late Princess of Wales, Richard Kay, told Express that Prince Harry had a specific request of his father, then-Prince Charles, after learning his mother had died. Harry wanted to travel to Paris with his father and collect Princess Diana’s body.
Charles reportedly refused his youngest son’s request. Richard Kay did not explain why. Perhaps he believed Harry would have been even more traumatized by the experience, adding to the sadness he already felt at the loss of his mother.
