The Duke of Cambridge plans to make a poignant visit to his mother’s resting place with his newborn son.
William and Harry make regular journeys to Diana’s grave, situated on a tiny island known as The Oval on the Spencer family estate, but a royal source has revealed that Wills intends to make the visit with Kate and baby George in a few months’ time.
“Diana is very much part of William and Harry’s life,” the source told The Sunday People. “As far as they’re concerned she is with them all the time.
“The princes were so close to their mother and it will always be a tragedy to them that she couldn’t be with them during their adult lives. They visit her often and made a vow they would always share the important times with her.”
William is adamant that Diana will be part of his child’s life.
“As soon as Kate became pregnant, William knew he wanted to introduce the baby to Diana at the earliest opportunity. He wants it to be a regular thing and will explain to his son what a wonderful woman Diana was,” the source continued.
“He not only wants to show off his son to Diana’s family, who are really proud of William, but it is somewhere where he can feel closer to his mum.”
William proposed to Catherine in 2010 with his Diana’s engagement ring. He said at the time it was “my way of making sure my mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement”.
