William was 15 years old at the time of his mother's death, and Harry was 12 when they had to walk behind Princess Diana's coffin in September 1997, a memory they both have shared has haunted them forever.
During a 2017 interview with Newsweek, Prince Harry said, "I don't think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don't think it would happen today."

"Doing the walk yesterday was challenging," he said. "It brought back a few memories. It's one of those moments where you kind of think to yourself, 'I've prepared myself for this,' but I'm not that prepared.
"It's this weird kind of thing ... Because we knew she was 96."
