Prince William posted a never-before-seen photo of the late Princess Diana in a sweet tribute to her.
The Prince of Wales shared the photo on Instagram Sunday in honor of Mothering Sunday, which is the UKâs version of Motherâs Day.
In the snapshot, William, still a toddler, holds hands with his mother in a field full of flowers. Diana, clad in a pink sweater and jeans, is crouched down with a smile on her face.
William captioned the pic, âRemembering my mother, today and every day. Thinking of all those who are remembering someone they love today. Happy Motherâs Day. W.â
Williamâs father, King Charles III, and his stepmom, Queen Camilla, also took to their official Instagram account Sunday to share pictures of their late mothers, Queen Elizabeth II and Rosalind Shand, respectively.
âWishing Mothers everywhere, and those who might be missing their Mums today, a restful Mothering Sunday,â they wrote.
William, 43, was just 15 years old when Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.
Royal expert Richard Kay claimed on the âPalace Confidentialâ podcast last Tuesday that before her death, Diana actually thought there was a possibility that her youngest son, Prince Harry, was going to be the king over her âshyâ eldest son.
âI think William has been a bit of a surprise. He was a shy young man,â he shared.
âCertainly, when his mother was still alive, she would tell me that she never really thought that William wanted the âtop job,â as she called it,â he continued.
Kay claimed Diana âwas preparingâ for the possibility that Harry might the one who succeeded his father.
â[Diana] had a nickname for Harry: She used to call him âGood King Harryâ â a throwback to medieval days,â Kay said.
Harry, 41, of course, ended up shockingly quitting the royal family in 2020 along with his wife, Meghan Markle, and heâs now estranged from William.
Harry and Markle are still very much in the public eye despite leaving the royal family.
Markle, 44, made a surprise visit to Childrenâs Hospital Los Angeles last Thursday, where she spent time with patients and joined a painting session with staff.
