A royal author recently revealed that Britain's King Charles III deeply
regrets one thing about his former wife and Princess Diana's funeral.
Author Christopher Andersen, who has written a new book
about King Charles titled, "The King: The Life of Charles III" told the US
weekly that Britain's KIng "deeply regrets" making his sons, Prince William
and Prince Harry, walk behind the coffin of their mother Diana.
"I think it haunts him because it haunts them, and they’ve
spoken about it. I’ve written that I believe it’s a form of PTSD," he
wrote.
Further, the royal author spoke about Prine Harry's nightmare of
flying to London. He said, "[He said] it reminds him of that day when he had
to walk behind the coffin, and they were more or less bullied into doing it
by the palace – by the men in gray who really run the palace, the people
that Diana used to complain about".
Prince William was 15
and Prince Harry was 12 when their mother Princess Diana died in a car
accident in 1997. She was 36.
Earlier, Prine Harry said, "My mother had just died, and I had
to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people
watching me while millions more did on television. I don’t think any child
should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don’t think it would
happen today".
Separately, a 23-year-old man was arrested after
hurling eggs and vitriol at King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort,
as they walked in the northern England city of York.
The incident happened as the king and his wife were entering York
through Micklegate Bar, a medieval gateway where monarchs are traditionally
welcomed to the city.
Several eggs in motion and smashed
on the ground. None appeared to hit the royal couple, who continued to be
greeted by local dignitaries and to meet assembled well-wishers.
North
Yorkshire Police said a 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a
public order offense and was being held in custody.
Charles and
Camilla traveled to York as part of a series of engagements around the U.K.
marking the start of the new king's reign. They attended a service at the
city’s cathedral, York Minster, and unveiled a statue of the king's mother,
Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September after 70 years on the throne.
