Where are the 2 young Princes?

You'll see them in Part 10, coming out from the side road to march behind their mother's coffin.

That's sweet. Thanks for commenting on a neglected segment of the footage!

I was SO glad the royal family was MADE to wait for Diana to pass by them!! She was treated abominably by most of them. To see the Queen having to stand and wait and wait and wait for Diana's funeral procession brought a smile to my face on what was a most sad day in so many people's lives. Diana, you were loved by those who counted. May you rest in peace, English Rose.

The lessoned from this is to tell people that they are "loved, admired & respected" WHILE THEY ARE STILL HERE!!! Don't wait until AFTER they are gone to tell them... Tell them to their FACE, not while they're in their coffin!

@leesetters Yes. Somehow, I could even see Sarah remarrying Prince Andrew in the near future. I think only the prospect of having to deal with the flunkies in the royal household that seems to be a problem for Sarah.

I think most of you are really cynical. How many people have to balance being a Queen, a mother, a grandmother all at once. Again, she didn't put herself first, she looked after her grandchildren and then the country. Nobody seems to care about what she must have been going through.

Harrowing my arse,they would be jumping up up and down with glee if their poncey arses could get away with it.

The Royal Family underestimated her "power" as a loving person. It took the British people's insistence and support of Diana to wake them up. I really don't think the Queen and Royal Family realized how close they came to losing the manarchy during those weeks. The people were no longer going to tolerate their stuffiness and ignorance of Diana's importance to them.

I think they respected her as a person and as the mother of William and Harry. As a daughter in law, I don't know, but I don't think they were overjoyed.

The Welsh Guard looks like a bunch of those decorative nutcrackers.

R.I.P Princess Diana.

I think the royal family were happy to have her gone... Just proves how much the people love diana though, no one can forget how much she was loved and how much she loved the everyday person.
