An incredible new book about the royals claims that Prince Philip completely “exploded” to protect his grandsons. The late Duke reportedly cursed at a royal aide over William and Harry’s role in Diana’s funeral. This shocking story offers a captivating new look at the royal family’s private moments behind the scenes. You won’t want to miss the astonishing details of this revelation.
According to the book, the tension inside Buckingham Palace reached a boiling point in the days after Diana’s death. While courtiers quietly discussed protocol and public appearances, Prince Philip’s patience snapped when he overheard an aide suggesting that young William and Harry should be shielded from walking behind their mother’s coffin.
“Absolutely not!” Philip thundered, his voice echoing through the gilded corridor. Witnesses claim he slammed his hand against the table, his face red with fury. “Those boys will walk — and I will walk with them. Do not forget who they are, or what they’ve lost.”
The aide reportedly tried to argue, worried about the psychological toll on the grieving princes. But Philip, fiercely protective of his grandsons, unleashed a tirade so blistering that even seasoned staff froze in shock.
That moment, the book claims, cemented his decision: the Duke himself would take his place beside William and Harry, shielding them not only from the cameras but from the crushing solitude of grief.
For years, the public only saw the solemn procession — but behind those stoic faces lay a storm of conflict, loyalty, and a grandfather’s unshakable will.
