Princess Diana wasn\u2019t known as \u201cThe People\u2019s Princess\u201d because it was a nice nickname for her to have.<\/p>\n
No, through her charitable work and warmth, she became an important person for the British people to lean on and be inspired by in tough times. As she famously once said, she didn\u2019t wish to be the Queen on paper, but rather the Queen in people\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n
The tragic accident in Paris that caused her death is one of the most shocking events in modern British history. Yet still to this day, Princess Diana\u2019s legacy lives on, not only through her sons William and Harry but most importantly, in people\u2019s hearts. <\/p>\n
We\u2019ve seen plenty of amazing photos of Diana over the years \u2013 but there are other pictures that haven\u2019t been nearly so widely circulated.<\/p>\n
That doesn\u2019t make them any less amazing, though \u2026<\/p>\n
Princess Diana
\nPrincess Diana died far too young, and her life was complicated by all manner of trials and tribulations. Sadly, she was followed around everywhere she went and endured a troubled private life once she joined the royal family.<\/p>\n
Princess Diana \u2013 raising Harry & William<\/p>\n
Despite it all, though, Diana was a loving mother. She always made sure to put William and Harry first \u2013 the mother-of-two wanted her children to have a childhood that was as normal as possible.<\/p>\n
Princess Diana often took William and Harry to theme parks and other fun venues. Of course, she knew what royal life entailed, including the fact that they had meals served to them at all times, and were expected to behave like proper, royal children.<\/p>\n
Yet she was also aware of the importance of William and Harry getting the chance to be like any other child. With this in mind, she would sneak them out of the palace to go and get fast food on occasion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember the princess came into the kitchen one day and said, \u2018Cancel lunch for the boys, I\u2019m taking them out, we\u2019re going to McDonald\u2019s,\u201d Diana\u2019s former personal chef Darren McGrady told Marie Claire.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I said, \u2018Oh my God \u2013 your Royal Highness, I can do that, I can do burgers.\u2019 And she said, \u2018No, it\u2019s the toy they want.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
William and Harry naturally loved spending time with their mother. She raised them to feel like they were just like any other children, which in many ways, they were! <\/p>\n
Princess Diana
\nDiana always endeavored to be the best mom possible and knew that brothers could and would fight with one another from time to time.<\/p>\n
Wanted her sons to always be best friends<\/p>\n
Royal historian Robert Lacey once revealed details about Harry and William\u2019s childhood, and how their mother wanted the two brothers to make her a significant promise.<\/p>\n
In his book Battle of Brothers, Lacey writes about the bond William and Harry developed through their early childhood and teenage years. Princess Diana was keen on them remaining close throughout their lives \u2013 she wanted the boys to promise they\u2019d always remain \u201cbest friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the book, Lacey quotes psychic Simone Simmons, who used to consult Diana.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must promise me that you will always be each other\u2019s best friends,\u201d Simmons claimed Diana told her sons. \u201cAnd never let anyone come between you.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cBoth boys promised they would keep to that,\u201d Simmons recalled. \u201cThey high-fived each other and gave their mother a big cuddle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
