The radical decision of Charles III to protect his children
The day after Lady Diana’s death, Prince Charles arrived in Paris to bring the princess’s body home himself. He totally refused to let his two sons follow him and come under pressure from the media. William and Harry then stayed with their grandmother, Elizabeth II. So they could stay calm, away from the hustle and bustle of the press and cameras. It was only a few days later that the two young princes appeared to the English people who then showed them all the affection in the world. The grieving process was able to begin, but the two teenagers, although they showed great dignity, had great difficulty in recovering from the death of their mother.
Fortunately for William and Harry, the English people have been very supportive these bereaved children. Queen Elizabeth, meanwhile, left her crown aside to take on the costume of a loving grandmother with her grandchildren.
