Prince Harry was fiercely defended by his uncle after the royal family made a decision about him.
Princess Diana’s brother Earl Charles Spencer, who has a close relationship with his nephew Prince Harry, previously defended the Duke against a shocking decision by the royal family.Earl Spencer was forced to stick up for Harry when the royals were planning the funeral of Princess Diana.
King Charles’ younger son Harry recalled the incident and said his uncle had been against him walking behind his mother’s coffin.
Harry was just 12 years old when the funeral took place and the plan was for him and his brother Prince William, who was only a little older at 15, to follow the coffin on foot. Earl Spencer believed it was too much for the young brothers to handle.
Recalling the incident in his memoir Spare, Harry said: “It seemed a lot to ask of two young boys. Several adults were aghast. Mummy’s brother, Uncle Charles, raised hell.”
