Jun 25, 2021 by apost team

Princess Diana was one of the most beautiful and kindest members of the royal family. She was the first wife of Charles, the Prince of Wales, and together they had two children — Prince William and Prince Harry. Diana’s pure heart was one of her most amazing qualities, as she participated in activism and charity work, and was also a very sweet and noble mother to her children. Not only that, but she was also absolutely gorgeous, both inside and out, which made her an international icon. 

Although she is no longer with us, her legacy continues to live on as she has inspired British culture and society, as well as plenty of people all across the world. Elton John’s song “Candle in the Wind 1997” was written in honor of his late friend, with some re-work of the song’s original lyrics. Through the memories of her children and the beautiful photographs of the family all together, Diana’s legacy is still held tightly in many people’s hearts to this day.

Here are some of the sweetest family moments Diana shared with her royal family.
