Prince William and Prince Harry joined dozens of old school friends yesterday for the funeral of a classmate killed in a car crash.

Henry van Straubenzee, 18, died last week when the car in which he was travelling hit a tree.

He was the distant cousin of the late Sir William van Straubenzee, a Tory MP from 1959 to 1987.

The teenager was one of Prince Harry’s closest friends and they had been pupils together at Ludgrove School. Prince William also attended the school.
