George, Charlotte and Louis’ sweet tribute to ‘Granny Diana’ 25 years after death

Princess Diana’s tragic death 25 years ago at the age of just 36 meant she never went on to see her sons Prince William and Prince Harry grow into young men and begin their own familys.

However, that hasn’t stopped the two royals’ ensuring that her memory endures for their own kids-Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Archie and Lilibet.

On Mother’s Day in 2020, it was revealed that William’s youngsters George, Charlotte and Louis carry out a yearly tradition to remember granny Diana.
