On March 15, the Prince of Wales shared a message along with a previously unseen photograph to commemorate his late mother, Princess Diana, and to mark Mother’s Day. The photograph was taken at Highgrove in 1984 and shows Princess Diana with the young Prince in a field of flowers. The Prince penned: “Remembering my mother, today and every day. Thinking of all those who are remembering someone they love today. Happy Mother’s Day. W.”
The Prince has often spoken about how he tells his own children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – about their late grandmother, and how he has followed in her footsteps through much of his charity work, particularly in support of homelessness charities.
I find that very touching. I also love how this generation of royals have changed a long held protocol of not speaking of feelings and personal emotions.
ردحذفDiana was very pretty and Catherine is a very pretty woman. Such a nasty first comment. Why must some women be so nasty? Perhaps it makes them feel better about themselves in some twisted, weird way.
حذفFOREVER DIANA ♥️
حذفDiana was truly a one of, there has and there never will be another Princess like her, she was unique in all she did. Kate is nothing like her; she is like her mother Carole. William looks pretty cute.(Tara)
ردحذفI agree. She was truly unique. I really miss her. And in terms of fashion she was amazing. She wore clothes like nobody else. Even if I hated an outfit she somehow made it look good. I'm glad she is not forgotten.
حذفKate is certainely very different. She is not as beautiful as Diana was - but she is far more solid and stable. She does NOT need to be the centre of attention - as Diana clearly wanted to be - and was.
حذفYes, Tara, luckily William grew up and married a wife on eye-level! Not some pseudo-mother who dominates him.
حذفEverybody is unique. Diana was very much loved by many people, but of course, she, too, was not an angel. A unique mixture, like you and me.
حذفI don't think that "Kate is not as beautiful as Diana was".
حذفYou know Carole well, right?!!!!!
حذف@Tara What an odd thing to say "Kate is nothing like; she is like her mother Carole." Why on Earth would Catherine be like the late princess - they were not related. And it natural for Catherine to be like her own mother. Everyone is unique. It is comments like yours that tarnish Diana's reputation. Let the woman rest in peace. She was human - did both good and bad (as we all do). You've turned a man's touching tribute to his late mother into something pretty vile. As William himself has said, Catherine will carve out her own role and she isn't his mother (he doesn't want her to be his mother).

To say that Diana was more beautiful than Catherine or that Catherine is more beautiful than Diana is, imo, silly and misguided. I would say their beauty is equal but entirely different in type! If we are strictly talking “classic” beauty, Catherine’s perfectly proportioned face and figure are, frankly, unbeatable. There is a famous quote from someone, to the effect that great beauty always incorporates some slight flaw, and this I believe is the key to Diana’s visual appeal. Her figure, which compared to Catherine’s was generous in the bust and midsection, and her facial features, in which her nose (and I loved her nose!) was comparatively prominent, did not detract from her beauty but contributed to it. In other words, we are talking apples and oranges here. Let these two beauties be beautiful in their own way!
حذفSuch a beautiful photo! And what a surprise! Probably my favourite photo ever on this website. Thank you for the surprise! - Ellie
ردحذفBeautiful comment by Prince William.
ردحذفAbsolutely, yes.
حذفSuch a lovely photograph and sentiment.
ردحذفHappy Mothers Day to all those celebrating today.

Indeed, lovely, touching photograph, William must have put all his heart into this.
حذفDeep bonds of love prevail over death, they last forever, they win over death.
Happy Mother's Day to all (it is celebrated in May in Italy).
Thank you, William, for sharing this touching and beautiful photograph. Thank you, Helen, for including it today. How I wish Diana was still here.
ردحذفI too wish Diana was still here. I really think that some crucial things nowadays within the BRF were different if she was still alive (even after the divorce).
حذفGreat picture. Oh that ‘80s hair I remember it well, very stylish. Pink sweater was a nice colour for her.
ردحذفWonderful photo!
ردحذفQuand je regarde cette photo, je ne peux qu’être émue ; adorable William en compagnie de sa maman !
ردحذفShe will be missed all the days if our lives , for us who were lucky to meet her! And in our hearts, William will always be the boy who lost his mother and was the picture of dignity.
ردحذفWell said.
حذفBeautiful greetings.
ردحذفRed Herring
@Tara - I look forward to the day you write something positive about the Princess of Wales. We are all unique!
ردحذفI met Diana once, she came across as a sincere and emphatic person, such a tragic end.
Hey, I met Queen Mum once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
حذفH.R.H. the PRINCESS OF WALES, Diana, was a very very very MOTHER and unforgotten ROSE OF ENGLAND!!!!!
ردحذف100%
حذفWhat a beautiful photograph and words from Prince William. I admire how he chooses to honour his mother in all he does. I’m sure Diana would be as proud of him today,as she was when he was her little man’!
ردحذفLowri.
What lovely picture of mother and son. This is the way to remember her. Happy Mother's Day for the mothers in the UK.

Love this picture. It s also beautiful gesture from Prince of Wales to his brother, I believe her mother was pregnant of Harry when picture taken due of her hair style. Well I'm just guessing.
ردحذفPrince William could not have picked a better photo to use. Its beautiful. His mum in this photo was pregnant with Harry at this point. The surrounding bloom of flowers so gorgeous. Diana looked beautiful, the pink of her sweater really pops in color amongst the glorious colors of the flowers. Thinking of his mum, and sharing, speaks volumes of William. I simply love it. Rest easy and peacefully Ma'am x You are missed but not forgotten.
ردحذفHello, @ Ava, beautiful comment from you.
حذفI didn't know P.Diana was pregnant with Harry in this pic.
Sharing his thoughts of love with the public speaks volumes of William, yes.
You are right, Diana is very much missed and will never be forgotten.
...
There Is something for you in the first post concerning the Danish Royal Couple's official trip to Australia.
Hugs!!
👍💪👋
Hi P the original How are you? So nice of you thankyou, just spoke from the heart. Yes, she was at this point. She looked glowing! Oh thank you, I am very behind on catchup from this end. I will have a look, and thank you so much. Hugs!
حذفHappy Mother's Day Princess Diana. You always put being a mom first ❤️ You were one of a kind, always changing the world, being a humanitarian, the People's Princess. You will always be with us never forgotten ❤️
ردحذفLove this and what a treat! Also, a nice shining ray of hope in royal following. The reign of William V is part of Diana's legacy and things will be different when he's King.
ردحذفAnd before anyone bemoans William posted a photo without his brother... Look harder! While we haven't seen this photo, we've seen one from the same day in the Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy documentary. William mentions in the documentary she was pregnant with Harry in it. So he's there. William has not erased his brother.
Not that Harry needs to be in every photo William posts with his mother. William and Harry are brothers, but each had individual relationships with their mother in addition to their shared sibling relationship. She belongs to them both, she loved them both more than anything, and would adore all 5 of her grandbabies.
Princess Diana was one of a kind. Miss her.
ردحذفThink how hurt Princess Diana would be about her two sons being estranged for so long, if she was still alive. And how would she have felt about Harry's decision to leave his royal duties, and leave the monarchy. I know her heart would ache for her sons feud.
ردحذفSuch a sweet photo. This must be a bittersweet day for William.
ردحذفSuch a lovely photo. Diana looks truly happy. Her boys meant everything to her. ❤️
ردحذفThat is a beautiful photo, and tribute to his mother. Happy Mother's day to all U.K. Mum's/Mom's.
ردحذفBeautiful tribute from a truly loving son, future king, his mum would be so very proud of the man he has become
ردحذفThe People's Princess...Diana should still be with us. ❤️
ردحذفWomen's day is on the same date all over the world. Mother's day should also be standardized to be on the same day all over the world! I think Father's day is on the same day everywhere? It's so odd how Mother's day is on a different day in different countries.
ردحذفAw beautiful Diana. Forever young and forever missed. Happy UK Mum's Day!
ردحذفBeautiful photo.
ردحذفIt’s heartbreaking to see the photo - for me. In my mind, if Diana had lived, William and Harry would have not gotten to the stage they are at today. As a mum of two kids, I know it in my heart to be true (you can always have your own personal opinion on this). In fact, the mere fact that William chose this picture and not one that includes Harry, is quite telling of where his heart at. I feel sorry for both of them. It will never be a good thing to be estranged from your family, no matter how difficult it may seem to reconcile (again, my opinion).
ردحذفDiana was such a different person than Charles and I guess he never saw her for who she really was, despite errors and mistakes. Sadly it impacted their boys.
CH
I loved the longer length of Diana’s hair during this period, and the gently brushed-back way that it was styled. Imo she was at the height of her beauty when she exited the Lindo Wing of the hospital with Harry in her arms.
