Prince William said, “I give thanks that I was lucky enough to be her son and that I got to know her for the 15 years that I did. She set us up really well. She gave us the right tools and had prepared us well for life in the best way she could not obviously knowing what was going to happen.”

Harry echoed those sentiments, saying, “She was our mum. She still is our mum. And you know, of course as a son, I would say that she’s the best mum in the world.”

As a personal tribute, both princes gave their daughters—Princess Charlotte and Princess Lilibet—Diana as a middle name.

William’s Charity Work Seen as Tribute to Diana

While the brothers might not post tributes on social media, many believe William is continuing his mother’s legacy through his actions.

On Diana’s birthday this year, William visited a homeless shelter in Sheffield as part of his Homewards initiative. The five-year project, launched in 2022, focuses on tackling homelessness in six regions across the UK and aims to make it “rare, brief and unrepeated.”

Diana was known for her compassionate work with the homeless and famously brought William and Harry along to shelters when they were young. One fan on X wrote, “Happy Birthday Princess Diana. William is carrying on your legacy with deep compassion for others and loving respect for you.”

For many, his actions speak louder than public posts, keeping Diana’s spirit alive through service rather than ceremony.
