In the UK, Mother's Day was celebrated on Sunday, March 14th, 2021. The children of Prince William and Duchess Catherine also remember their late grandmother Diana. Behind this is a message, says a Royal expert now.
Prince William, 38, and Duchess Catherine, 39, show self-made cards by Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2. They made the royal offspring for their "Grandma Diana" on the occasion of British Mother's Day.
Princess Charlotte: "Dad misses you"
The children's cards that can be seen on Instagram are decorated with flowers, hearts and animals. The two older siblings also have handwritten messages to Princess Diana († 36), who died in a car accident in 1997. The lines that five-year-old Charlotte dedicates to her late grandmother are particularly touching. "Dear Grandma Diana, I think of you on Mother's Day. I love you very much. Dad misses you. All the best, Charlotte," she writes to a heart drawn in with colored pencils.
Words of encouragement from Prince William and Duchess Catherine
Together with the photos of the cards, William and Kate send words of encouragement to those struggling with grief: "Mother's Day will be different this year too. Many of us will be separated from our loved ones, but look forward to a time in the not too distant future when we can hug our mother again. But for those experiencing grief, today can be especially challenging. " The post goes on to say: "Every year on Mother's Day, George, Charlotte and Louis make cards for William in memory of their grandma Diana."
Prince Williams' hidden message
Royal expert Penny Junor believes that there is also a hidden message to the people behind it. "I think it was Williams' way of saying, 'I'm Diana's son too,'" the biographer told The Telegraph. So he could try to take the reins back in hand. Because the touching posting in memory of his deceased mother follows just a few days after the broadcast of the controversial interview by Prince Harry, 36, and Duchess Meghan, 39, with Oprah Winfrey, 67. The 36-year-old mentioned Lady Di several times He believes he was angry about the way he and his wife Meghan were treated. "At the moment it seems like Harry has the strings for the whole story in hand," said Junor. She believes that he caused a lot of damage in his family, and: "He put a bomb under William's future."
