Prince William and Prince Harry have lost another person who knew their mother, Princess Diana, and someone close to the brothers too, as the bodyguard who cared for them after their mother’s death dies at the age of 77.

The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex were plunged into grief and mourning at the young age of 15 and 12 respectively when Princess Diana lost her life in a car crash in a tunnel in France.

One of the people there to support the teenagers in their loss was Graham Craker, affectionately dubbed Crackers by the pair, who walked besides the boys as they followed her hearse to the Westminster Abbey from Kensington Palace.

Now he has also died, 27 years on from the crash that killed Diana, at the age of 77 as announced by RadarOnline.com, and will no doubt be a sad blow to the sons of King Charles III; Prince Harry remembering him fondly in particular.

“The driver had to keep pulling over,” Harry wrote in his 2023 memoir, Spare. “So the bodyguard could get out and clear the flowers off the windscreen.

“The bodyguard was Graham.

Willy [William] and I liked him a lot.

We always called him Crackers.

We thought that was hysterical.”

Who was Graham Craker?
Craker later sat in front of the hearse from Westminster Abbey to Althorp House, where Diana now rests and he had been involved with the family for a notable period of time too.

He previous accompanied the former Princess of Wales to Alton Towers, a theme park, in 1994 and was a guest at Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey in 2011.

Craker worked as a bodyguard for the British Royal Family for 15 years until retiring from the role in 2001, and previously spent 35 years with London’s Metropolitan Police force.

He was honored as a Member of the Royal Victorian Order by Queen Elizabeth II.
