this adorable little ritual with his sons William and Harry

Lady Diana was killed in a car accident aged 36 when her two sons William and Harry were very young. She would have celebrated her 61st birthday on July 1, 1961. The princess, who was close to her children, had a little ritual with them: eat in front of the television. “They were watching television while eating a meal tray huddled under a plaid all three on the sofa”, revealed to us Amandine Deslandes, author of the biography Diana Princess of Tears published in January 2022.

“They had rituals that seem amazing because Diana was a princess, future queen at the time, but they were rituals of any family,”then noted the specialist before specifying: “Diana had a life of Mr. and Mrs. everyone”. In effect, “What distinguished her way of raising her children was to ensure that they were not brought up only in royal protocol and that they are at most a normal life” , said Amandine Deslandes.

Lady Diana’s other activities with her sons

In addition to this adorable little ritual, Lady Diana did other rather simple activities with William and Harry. “They were going to eat hamburgers, they went to amusement parks, they did a lot of things that little boys like “, thus detailed the author.

But that’s not all: the one who had married Prince Charles, also took her sons when she was doing humanitarian work, especially when she had to go in shelters, hospitals or institutions for the elderly. “She took them with her to see what the reality of some people’s lives could be” explained Amandine Deslandes before ending by indicating:“She wanted them to be aware of how lucky they were, their social standing, and she also wanted to influence William’s role as future king and Harry’s royals.”
