Graham Craker, Former Royal Bodyguard, Dies at 77
Graham Craker, affectionately known as “Crackers,” has died at 77. He served as a trusted bodyguard to Princes William and Harry for 15 of his 35 years with the Metropolitan Police.
Craker was with the princes at Balmoral when they learned of Princess Diana’s death and walked behind her hearse with them at her funeral. He remained close to the royal family even after retirement, attending William’s wedding and being honored by the Queen.
Known for his warmth and dedication, Craker was also a beloved volunteer at Southern Maltings in Ware, where he was remembered as “our very own James Bond.”
