In the years that followed, Prince William, who is now heir to the throne, and Prince Harry accompanied their father on a limited number of official engagements in the UK and abroad.
The Prince of Wales asked the media to respect his sons' privacy, to allow them to lead a normal school life. With them were The Duke of Edinburgh and The Princess's brother, Earl Spencer. On the day of the funeral, The Prince of Wales accompanied his two sons, Prince William, aged 15 and Prince Harry, aged 12 at the time, as they walked behind the coffin from The Mall to Westminster Abbey. When The Princess was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997, The Prince of Wales flew to Paris with her two sisters to bring her body back to London.
She continued to live at Kensington Palace and to carry out her public work for a number of charities. The Princess was still regarded as a member of the Royal Family. The marriage was dissolved on 28 August 1996. On 9 December 1992, The Prime Minister, John Major, announced to the House of Commons that The Prince and Princess of Wales had agreed to separate. From the time of their marriage, The Prince and Princess of Wales went on overseas tours and carried out many engagements together in the UK.
