Bodyguard who walked behind Princess Diana’s coffin is dead
Graham “Crackers” Craker, the former bodyguard of Prince William and Prince Harry, is dead.
Craker worked as a protection officer for the two royals when they were children.
During the funeral of Princess Diana, he walked with William and Harry behind the coffin as it was driven from St James’s Palace to Westminster Abbey.
Footage from the event showed Craker sitting in the front of the hearse.
Harry even mentioned Craker in his controversial memoir, Spare.
He was also photographed during other public occasions in the young princes’ lives, including a visit to Alton Towers with Diana in April 1994.
Craker retired in 2001 after 35 years with the Metropolitan Police, 15 of those as a royal bodyguard.
He enjoyed a close relationship with William and was even invited to his wedding with Kate in 2011.
