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.

Fernando Diniz define clube que dá aula no Brasil: “Exemplo de sucesso”
Diniz, ex-técnico da seleção brasileira (Vitor Silva/CBF) Fernando Diniz vê o Fortaleza dando aula dentro e fora dos gramados no Brasil. Além do desempenho que fez o clube, mais uma vez, disputar a fase de grupos da Libertadores, o modelo administrativo foi elogiado pelo treinador. Levando em conta o trabalho de Vojvoda, totalmente respaldado em momentos críticos, a postura da diretoria é avaliada como exemplar para os outros clubes da Série A. “Em 2022, ficou o turno inteiro na lanterna praticamente, foi sair do rebaixamento no final do campeonato.

Nelíbí se mi Haškovo chování. V Česku mě za slova o něm málem zabili, řekl Petržela ruským médiím
„Nechci mluvit o Haškovi. Nelíbí se mi jeho chování,“ cituje Petrželova slova server RIA Novosti. „Nechci mluvit za něj. Mně se ale v Rusku líbilo,“ doplnil kouč, jenž vedl v letech 2002 až 2006 Zenit Petrohrad a v Rusku má stále spousty přátel.Místopředseda ruské bezpečnostní rady Medveděv se obul do Haška poté, co ruský hokejista a velký obdivovatel prezidenta Vladimira Putina Alexandr Ovečkin překonal střelecký rekord Waynea Gretzkého a stal se tak nejlepším kanonýrem v historii NHL.„895 je výsledkem velkého ruského hokejisty! P.S. Čekáme na sebevraždu šíleného českého Haška,“ napsal Medveděv na sociální síti Telegram. A o pár dnů později už přidal explicitní výhrůžku. „Doporučil bych mu, aby opatrněji přecházel silnici, nepil pivo na neprověřených místech a pravidelně navštěvoval psychiatra,“ vzkázal bývalý prezident.„V České republice je postoj k Haškovi nejednoznačný. Někteří s jeho slovy o Rusku souhlasí, jiní ne. Já nerozumím tomu, proč se tak vehementně staví proti ruským hokejistům,“ uvedl nyní Petržela pro server […]
