And the 26th anniversary of her funeral, her eldest son have publicly reflected on Diana, and how his plan to continue her legacy.

She ensured they received attention and affection despite her demanding royal duties. In an excerpt from the book The Palace Papers, written by Tina Brown, the legendary editor and social insider par excellence, pulling back the curtain on the very odd relationship between Diana, Princess of Wales and her son Prince William. The relationship between Prince William and Princess Diana was marked by deep affection and mutual respect. They shared a unique bond that transcended the traditional roles of mother and son and evolved into a close friendship. Princess Diana's approach to parenting emphasized openness, communication, and spending quality time with her children, which greatly contributed to their strong connection. We've all seen the famous roster of pictures of Diana and William, or, Basher Wills, as he was nicknamed as a tot. As William's teenage years approached, William's height, blonde locks and smile were all pure Diana. However, the picture that Brown paints of the way Diana treated her elder son is a tad bizarre. Even though the young prince was ten years old when his parents separated, his role in his mother's turbulent existence was unlike that of any normal child, with William being, as Brown writes, privy to her volatile love life. He knew the tabloids made her life hell, but he also knew she colluded with them. By his early teens, he was his mother's most trusted confidant. In a telling gesture, the princess, per Brown, used to refer to her son as, my little wise old man. As the outpouring of grief at her death showed, Diana's informal attitude to royal protocol and parenting struck accord with the public. Princess Diana was a thoroughly modern princess, and nowhere was her iconoclasm more evident than in her determination to define the lives of her young sons, William and Harry, on her own terms. Princess Diana often took Prince William and Prince Harry to amusement parks, where they could enjoy carefree moments together. These outings allowed them to experience the joy of being a family outside the confines of royal life. Besides, Princess Diana involved her sons in charitable activities from a young age. They joined her on visits to hospitals and institutions, instilling in them a sense of compassion and responsibility. On the 26th anniversary of Princess Diana's passing, Prince William's heartfelt tributes remind us of the enduring love between a mother and her son. Through his words and actions, he continues to honor her memory and carry forward her legacy of compassion and kindness, making her a source of inspiration not only for him but for people around the world.
