When I think of Princess Diana, I don’t just see the royal figure; I see a devoted mother taken far too soon at the age of 36, leaving behind her beloved boys and missing out on the joy of meeting her grandchildren. The wave of public grief that followed her passing in 1997 still lingers today, as we watch her sons navigate life, find love, and start families of their own. In a way, we celebrate their milestones for her, sharing in the happiness she would have cherished. Below are some of our favorite snapshots of the beloved Princess of Wales.
