Prince William is paying tribute to his mother in a royally sweet way.
In fact, the Prince of Wales shared a never-before-seen photo of Princess Diana, who died at the age of 15 in a fatal car crash in 1997, as a sweet tribute to Britain’s Mother’s Day.
“Today and every day, I think of my mother,” she captioned a throwback photo she posted on Instagram on March 15. “Thinking of everyone who is remembering a loved one today. Happy Mother’s Day. W.”
In this photo, Princess Diana crouches in a field of flowers and holds baby William’s hand. Wearing blue jeans and a pink sweater, the late royal smiles for the camera as Prince William admires the plants around him.
Prince William’s acknowledgment of his mother’s heritage comes weeks after he reflected on how difficult it was to raise his and Duchess Kate’s children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.
After all, Prince William quipped during a panel discussion on BBC Radio 1’s Life Hacks: Mental Health special on February 18 that his three young children “sometimes talk too much” about their feelings. “I understand all the details. I love it, you know, it’s great.”
