Prince William<\/a>, 42, and Diana\u2019s other sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale. <\/p>\nThe ceremony came two days before the 27th anniversary of the death of Diana, who was killed aged 36 on 31 August, 1997, in a Paris car crash.<\/p>\n
She was remembered by her brother Charles on the anniversary of her passing in an emotional tribute on social media he posted on Saturday. (31.08.24)<\/p>\n
\nHe shared an image that showed various photographs and newspaper clippings focusing on Diana \u2013 including an article about her christening and a snap of the late royal playing outside as a young girl.<\/p>\n
\nBut Charles refrained from including a caption on the moving post.<\/p>\n
\nHe is the youngest of five children born to John Spencer and Frances Shand Kydd.<\/p>\n
\nCharles grew up with his three older sisters \u2013 Sarah, the eldest, born in 1955, followed by Jane in 1957 and Diana in 1961. <\/p>\n
\nHe also had an older brother named John, who was born in 1960 but died just hours later.<\/p>\n
\nCharles admitted after Diana\u2019s death he was haunted by the feeling he could have done more to save her from her tragic end.<\/p>\n
\nHe told People: \u201cYou always think, God, I wish I could\u2019ve protected her. It was just… it was devastating.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI always felt intensely protective towards her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCharles famously gave the eulogy at Diana\u2019s funeral on 6 September, 1997, at which Sir Elton John, 77, sang his now iconic version of \u2018Candle in the Wind\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nHe said he was acting as the \u201crepresentative\u201d of a \u201cfamily in grief, in a country in mourning, before a world in shock\u201d, before hailing Diana as the \u201cvery essence\u201d of compassion, duty, style and beauty \u2013 and saying she was the \u201cmost hunted person of the modern age\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nAlong with Charles\u2019 online tribute, thousands of tourists and royal fans laid flowers and photos of Diana on 31 August at the gates of her former residence Kensington Palace.<\/p>\n
\nDiana was killed in the Paris tunnel crash alongside her partner Dodi Fayed, 42, while her sons Prince William, then 15, and Harry, who was 12 at the time, were on holiday with their father, then Prince Charles at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
