Prince William's children, though born after her passing, are familiar with their grandmother, Princess Diana. William, now 43, has spoken openly about sharing stories of "Granny Diana" with his children. He has mentioned doing this with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and likely with Prince Louis as well.
William has stated that he often talks about Diana with his children, especially at bedtime. He keeps photos of her around the house to help them remember her. He also acknowledges that his wife, Catherine, did not know Diana, so he takes on the role of sharing details about her life. He emphasizes the importance of his children knowing who she was and that she was a grandmother in their lives.
It is believed that the children feel a connection to Diana, despite never having met her. Kensington Palace revealed that they make cards for her on Mother's Day each year.
Beyond sharing stories, William also emulates his mother's parenting style. He discusses difficult topics, such as homelessness, with his children, mirroring Diana's approach. He has shared that he talks to his children about homelessness during their school runs, just as Diana did with him. It is anticipated that he will also take his children to homeless shelters, as Diana did with him. He has stated that Diana ensured he understood the realities of life outside the palace.

It's essential for children to know their roots and Diana's impact on the world.

Why not introduce them to people who are actually making a difference today?

Making cards for her shows they have a connection, even if it's not a physical one.
