Princess Diana would be proud of all the ways her sons Prince William and Harry, and now Duchess Catherine also, have continued to keep her philanthropic spirit alive through all their charity work.

And now, Prince William and his wife will follow in Diana’s footsteps and move back into Kensington Palace along with their two children, George and Charlotte.

The family-of-four, who have spent the last three years living at Anmer Hall, will reside in the newly-renovated Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace.

The 20-room lot has undergone a two-year renovation, which cost over $8 million.

It also happens to be where William and Catherine hosted the Obamas during their recent visit, and where the priceless photo of Prince George shaking hands with the US President while wearing his tiny white robe was taken.

But it’s what William and Catherine, as well as Harry, are planning to do with Diana’s old flat, Apartment 8, that would make her proud.

Royal author Ingrid Seward told Mail Online William and Harry would understandably want to use the space as “a way of them keeping Diana’s memory alive.”

The young princess were introduced to the piano by their late mother, Princess Diana, in Apartment 8 back in 1985.

Although the move will mean a shorter commute for William and Kate, as Apartment 1A is just across the lawn from Apartment 8, it’s said the move will be a somewhat reluctant one for the prince.

Their lavish 10-bedroom Anmer Hall estate was a wedding gift from the Queen, and would have made a perfect space to raise George and Charlotte up in privacy and away from the spotlight of Kensington Palace.

But the extra room could come in handy if William and Catherine plan for more children, which we could only hope for!
