Prince William honoured Princess Diana on Mother’s Day by sharing a never-before-seen photo of them together. The image comes from the royal family’s private collection and shows Diana with a two-year-old William in 1984. In the photograph, they sit among wildflowers at Highgrove, Gloucestershire, the family’s main home.
William posted the photo on Instagram, writing: “Remembering my mother, today and every day. Thinking of all those who are remembering someone they love today. Happy Mother’s Day. W.” The tribute marks a deeply personal moment for the Prince, who lost his mother at the age of 15.
Princess Diana passed away in 1997 at the age of 36 following a car accident. Her younger son, Prince Harry, was only 12 at the time. Both William and Harry have frequently discussed the lasting impact of losing their mother at such a young age.
The Royal Family also shared Mother’s Day messages across its official X account. It included a selection of photographs celebrating mothers, with captions wishing a restful day for those who are missing their own. Among the images, a black-and-white photo shows the late Queen Elizabeth II sitting on a bench with her father, King George VI, and her sister Anne at Balmoral, Scotland, in 1953. The Queen’s corgi, Sue, appears in the background.
Other images highlighted generational bonds, including the late Queen with the Queen Mother and Camilla with her late mother, Rosalind Shand. The collection underscores the significance of family and memory within the royal household.
Princess Diana would have turned 65 on 1 July 2026. Her legacy continues to resonate through her sons and countless admirers worldwide. William’s post serves as both a personal tribute and a reminder of her enduring influence.
