Even though his late grandmother Princess Diana has been gone for nearly 26 years, her presence is still very much felt, her dear friend Julia Samuel said on the “How to Fail” podcast (and per The Mirror), and will be especially so on Prince George's tenth birthday today. Though Diana never got to meet her grandchildren George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet, a tradition Diana started is still upheld on their birthdays, including George’s birthday today—buying the kiddos “impossible” toys that dads Prince William and Prince Harry have to spend days carefully assembling.
“I do to George what [Diana] did to us, which is give impossible toys that are really noisy and take a lot of making,” Samuel said. “William then has to spend days putting together. And then put all the machinery together, and it makes awful tooting noises and lights flashing and all of that.”
