Prince William's three children joined millions of others across the UK in honouring their mum yesterday (Sunday, March 19). But while Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, celebrated Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, for Mother's Day, they would also have had someone they never met in their thoughts.
On every Mother's Day, the young royals also honour their grandmothers, Carole Middleton and the late Princess Dianna. Prince William has previously spoken about regularly talking to his sons and daughter - especially at bedtime - about his late mother to make sure they know who she was and all about her.
Heartfelt cards they wrote for Diana from 2021 have resurfaced after being shared by The Prince of Wales, as reported by the Mirror. Charlotte's particularly poignant message, which was on a pink background with a colourful hand-drawn heart, read: "Dear Granny Diana, I am thinking of you on mother's day. I love you very much. Papa is missing you. Lots of love Charlotte xxxxxxxxx".
