Wills takes children to pay tribute to their gran Diana
“This is obviously a particularly sad year for the royals. It is important to them that George and Charlotte are able to show their respects.”
William was 15 and Harry only 12 when their mother was killed in a car crash in Paris on
August 31, 1997. Her Wills and George death sent shockwaves around the world. The brothers are to put up a statue of Diana in the public gardens at Kensington Palace, her London home.
And the Diana Award, which promotes her belief in the positive power of young people, is staging a year-long celebration PRINCESS Diana was way ahead of her time. She forced the world to wake up to AIDS, and refused to be fazed by Establishment attacks on her fight to end the scourge of landmines. She had the courage of a lioness. I am still struck, as I was as a young royal correspondent, by her energy of her qualities of kindness and compassion.
Yesterday William and Kate were joined by Diana’s brother Earl Spencer, 53, and her sisters, Lady Sarah Mccorquodale, 62, and Baroness Fellowes, 60.
The grave, on the family estate at Althorp House, Northants,
and drive. Diana more than anyone brought the Royals kicking and screaming into the modern world.
Her death made the royal family realise they had lessons to learn.
William and Harry live determined, as Diana, to use their status to help the less fortunate. They are her living legacy.

Prince William said in a recent interview with GQ he was “in a better place” over his mother’s death. He said: “I can talk about her more openly, talk about her more honestly, and I can remember her better. It has taken me almost 20 years.” dan.warburton@ trinitymirror.com Princess Di
