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.
1983
Sitting stoically on a bench at Kensington Palace, Diana enjoyed her time alongside the Prince of Wales and their first-born child. William stood as tall as his 1-year-old self could, already looking incredibly regal, even while wearing his cute puffy coat.

Having a baby is an incredibly special moment for families, although it can be extremely taxing and tiring. Diana seemed invincible as she still looked stunning leaving the hospital with a newborn baby Harry held delicately yet firmly in her arms, while Charles stood by her side and smiled happily at his growing family.
1985
Diana loved her sons dearly and made sure to spend plenty of time with them while she could. Aside from their important duties as royals, they also enjoyed their down-time with one another, like playing games and doing puzzles. In this sweet photo, Diana looked incredibly happy to be spending some one-on-one time with William as they played some of the games spread across their table.
1986
As Diana held a smiling William and Charles held an emotive Harry, the parents looked completely dapper standing side by side in a garden full of red, yellow and white flowers. Diana held on tight to her eldest son as she posed happily for the bright photograph. Talk about the perfect family photo!
1987
Harry looked extremely warm and cozy as he cuddled up with his mom in this sweet photo of the two royals together. Although they were dressed quite simply — Diana wore a buttery yellow button-up while a young Harry opted for a red shirt covered by pink and white striped overalls — the two still exuded plenty of class and dignity.
1991
Time to hit the slopes! Who said that being a member of the royal family meant you had to be serious all the time? Diana enjoyed a fun moment with her two boys as they rode an aerial lift up high before they would get to race down the mountain and ski together.
1993
If you’ve ever wondered if Diana was a cool mom, then look no further, as this adorable picture proves just how much of a rebel she really was. Donning a leather jacket, the Princess of Wales was nothing but smiles as she enjoyed some outdoor time with her sons. Even with some missing teeth, Harry couldn’t help but smile right alongside his mom and older brother.
1994
Sitting together, the Prince and Princess of Wales enjoyed an outing with their sons as they all watched a parade in the city of London. As a captain in the Royal Navy and a group captain in the Royal Air Force, Charles’ suit was donned with plenty of medals. As a fashion icon, Diana was the epitome of grace and elegance as she accessorized her white dress with a bold hat and a classic pearl necklace.
1995
An important duty that everyone in the royal family has to execute is participating in royal engagement, such as making an appearance at a special event. Dressed to the nines, Diana looked effortlessly beautiful in a fitted black dress and heels that she accessorized with a coat, with the color resembling a blue jay bird. William and Harry were adorably handsome in their own suits as they made their way through the streets to Eton College, a boarding school, with plenty of guards standing by in the background.
