The shocking claim came in royal author Christopher Andersen’s new book titled The King: The Life of Charles IIIin which he suggested that the then 15 and 12-year-old William and Harry were forced into PTSD after Diana’s tragic death in a car crash. Andersen explained how traumatic the event was for both Prince William and Prince Harry, claiming that the flight to London still “triggers” Harry. Talking to US WeeklyAndersen shared, “I think it haunts him because it haunts them, and they’ve talked about it, I wrote that I think it’s a form of PTSD.” “He said it reminded him of that day when he had to walk behind the coffin, and they were pretty much bullied into doing it by the palace — by the men in gray who actually run the palace, the people Diana used to complain about about,” he added. The author also shared that Diana’s brother Charles Spencer also felt “cheated” and described walking behind her coffin as “walking through a tunnel of grief”. “I think both William and Harry thought, ‘Who are these strangers who have never met her?’ So, they were angry about what had happened. And Charles, I think, understands that to some extent he was responsible for them having to suffer through this,” Andersen also said.
