Princess Diana Wanted Prince Harry and Prince William to Grow Up Experiencing "Life Beyond the Palace Walls"

Princess Diana rides a sled with Prince William and Prince Harry.

Princess Diana was always a loving mother to her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Following her sudden and tragic death in 1997, Harry and William were left without their mother. But according to a royal expert, William and Harry appear to be following in their mother's footsteps when it comes to parenting their own children, and as such, continuing her legacy.

In a column for The i Paper, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond opened up about Princess Diana's wishes for sons William and Harry. "I remember William's mother, Diana, telling me that she wanted her two boys to be brought up in a way no other royal Princes had been," Bond wrote. "And she did her best to give them an idea of what life beyond the Palace walls is like."
