Prince William marked UK Mother’s Day this year by sharing a previously unseen photograph of himself as a two-year-old alongside Princess Diana in the picturesque gardens of Highgrove House. Surrounded by wildflowers, including poppies which are traditionally a symbol of remembrance, this was a deeply personal snap.

In his message, the Prince of Wales said he was "remembering [his] mother, today and every day" and thinking of those who are remembering someone they love on Mother’s Day. It was a poignant and sensitive caption, acknowledging that this day can be difficult for many people.
