Prince William and Prince Harry have made it a priority to keep the memory of their late mother, Princess Diana, alive for their children.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex honoured the former Princess of Wales, who passed away in a tragic car accident in Paris in 1997, by naming their daughters after her.
William and Kate Middleton names their daughter Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, while Harry and Meghan Markle followed suit with their daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Apart from this, the feuding brothers have previously talked about how they keep their mom’s memory alive by talking about her to their kids.
In 2017 documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, William revealed that he regularly speaks to Prince George and Princess Charlotte about her at bedtime.
“I do regularly, putting George and Charlotte to bed, talk about her and just trying to remind them that there are two grandmothers,” he said. “There were two grandmothers in their lives.”
"And so, it's important that they know how she was and she existed."
As for Harry, he shared that one of his son Prince Archie's first words was "grandma" while speaking on Apple TV+ docuseries with Oprah Winfrey, The Me You Can't See.
"I've got a photo up in his nursery, and it was one of the first words that he said—apart from 'mama,' 'papa,' it was then 'grandma.' Grandma Diana," he said.
"It's the sweetest thing, but at the same time, it makes me really sad because she should be here."
