Prince William and Princess Catherine made an emotional return to Althorp Estate with their children — George (12), Charlotte (10), and Louis (7) — to honor Princess Diana, 28 years after her passing.
The family visited the peaceful island on Oval Lake, where Diana rests, surrounded by 36 oak trees marking each year of her life. It’s a private tradition they quietly uphold each year — with no cameras, no press — just love and remembrance.
Sources say the children create handmade cards for “Granny Diana,” filled with drawings and heartfelt messages. Last year, Charlotte asked, “Would Granny like my drawing?” — bringing a tear to William’s eye. This year, Louis is said to have placed a small toy car at the memorial, whispering, “For Granny’s adventures.”
William often tells his children stories about Diana’s kindness and her powerful legacy. Catherine, who never met Diana, honors her through gentle guidance, her iconic sapphire ring, and by teaching compassion, just as Diana once did.
But the visit also comes during tensions with Prince Harry, who recently visited Althorp separately. Though the brothers didn’t meet, insiders say Diana’s memory remains their “common ground.” Some hope this anniversary might spark a future reunion.
Fans across the world have been deeply moved. Social media is flooded with tributes:
“Diana’s love lives on in those children.”
“This quiet act speaks louder than any royal event.”
In honoring Diana with humility and heart, William and Catherine are doing more than remembering a princess — they’re passing on her spirit, her warmth, and her legacy to the next generation.
