London: Britain&rsquo;s Prince Charles feared being shot dead during his ex-wife Diana&rsquo;s funeral in 1997 because he had become &ldquo;public enemy number one&rdquo; after her death, a royal biographer has claimed.
Ingrid Seward, a veteran royal correspondent, said that the 67-year-old heir to Britain&rsquo;s throne was &ldquo;fatalistic&rdquo; about the possibility that a gunman would take a shot as he followed Princess Diana&rsquo;s coffin to Westminster Abbey after she was killed in a car crash in Paris, The Times reports.
&ldquo;Prince Charles was extremely nervous because he was public enemy number one,&rdquo; Seward told the audience yesterday during the Henley Literary Festival at Henley-on-Thames. &ldquo;He thought, &lsquo;If someone takes a gun out and shoots me, that&rsquo;s it&rsquo;. The streets of London were very quiet. You could hear a pin drop. You could hear everything the crowd was saying. They were saying, &lsquo;Look at him, look at him&rsquo;. They were being quite nasty. The whole way round he could hear this abuse and he didn&rsquo;t think he would make it the whole way round,&rdquo; she said, without disclosing her sources.
