No big deal about Prince William and Prince Harry not walking side-by-side

en route to the Church at Windsor Castle for their grandfather's memorial.

If you look at the procession for their mother, Diana, you'll see the Earl of Spencer (their uncle, their mother's brother) was between them.

Plus from a Secret Service vantage, having heirs to the throne (I know, I know, Harry is #5 or so now) walking together would be a risk for assassination. And it's not out of the question; Lord Mountbatten was assassinated in a boat on a quiet lake.

Line of succession. No one wants that duty shoved on George. He should be a kid before he learns of the gilded cage he’s trapped in.
