Prince William Posts Touching Mother’s Day Tribute to Late Princess Diana

Britain's Prince William honored his deceased mother Princess Diana with a heartfelt social media post on UK Mother's Day. The 43-year-old prince shared a childhood photo of himself with Diana from 1984, expressing that he remembers her every day.

Britain’s Prince William paid tribute to his deceased mother Princess Diana with an emotional social media message as the United Kingdom observed Mother’s Day on Sunday.

The 43-year-old prince posted a touching message on Instagram alongside a vintage photograph, writing: “Remembering my mother, today and every day. Thinking of all those who are remembering someone they love today. Happy Mother’s Day.” He concluded the post with his signature initial “W.”

The accompanying image captures a tender moment between Diana and a young William, then just 2 years old, as they stand together in a flower-filled field at the royal family’s Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire. The photograph dates back to 1984.

Princess Diana lost her life in a tragic automobile accident in Paris during August 1997. At the time of her death at age 36, William was 15 years old while his younger brother Prince Harry was 12.

Other members of the royal family also commemorated Mothering Sunday, which falls on the fourth Sunday during Lent in Britain, with their own social media tributes.

Among these was a vintage black-and-white photograph from 1953 featuring the late Queen Elizabeth II seated on a garden bench at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, accompanied by a young King Charles III and his sister Anne, the Princess Royal, when they were still children.
