Princess Anne defended Queen Elizabeth II in a newly-released interview after she was criticised for staying with Princes William and Harry in Balmoral following their mother Princess Diana's death.
September 12, 2022 - 12:01 BST Nichola Murphy Princess Anne has always been one of her mother Queen Elizabeth II's biggest supporters, and she proved that by defending the monarch's reaction following Princess Diana's death in 1997.
"That was the only good thing that happened was that they were there, and they had that structure, they had people around them who could understand, give them the time, little time that they had, which was never going to be very much, to try and come - even in a fleeting sense - to terms with what had happened.
Harry recently recalled on The Me You Can't See, his mental health series with Oprah Winfrey:"For me, the thing I remember the most was the sound of the horses' hooves going along the pavement. Along the Mall, the red brick road. By this point I was, both of us were in shock. It was like I was outside of my body and just walking along doing what was expected of me.
