Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana: Echoes of royal past as Prince William and Prince Harry mourn

foxnews.com:

Queen Elizabeth II's death this week brought about a strikingly similar scene as mourners watched on while Her Majesty's coffin made its way from Buckingham Palace and traveled to Westminster Hall, an image reminiscent of Princess Diana's memorial 25 years ago when Prince William and Prince Harry followed their mother's casket to its final resting place shortly after she died.

As Queen Elizabeth II's coffin made the 20-minute journey through the streets of London, the world was transported back to 1997 where the young princes stood strong in their last physical act of protecting their mother before she was laid to rest.

On Sept. 6, 1997, Prince William and Prince Harry walked alongside their father Charles, the late Prince Philip and Diana's brother, Charles, the Earl of Spencer, on the two-mile route from Kensington Palace and through central London to Westminster Abbey for her service.

William was 15 years old at the time and Harry was 12.Their mother was 36 years old when she died on Aug. 31, 1997 following a car collision in Paris, France.
