Diana's 63rd birthday: William and Harry carry forward legacy of charity and compassion

Princess Diana, on what would have been her 63rd birthday today, is remembered worldwide for her enduring influence and charitable endeavours.

Born on 1st July 1961, Diana, Princess of Wales, continues to inspire through the efforts of her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Her legacy, marked by compassion and dedication to causes like homelessness and mental health, remains a guiding force in their lives and public service.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond highlighted William's commitment to continuing his mother's work, emphasising his efforts to instil Diana's values in his own children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. "William’s greatest tribute to his mother is his determination to carry on her legacy, particularly on issues such as homelessness and mental health," Bond stated.

Reflecting on Diana's nurturing spirit, Bond expressed how she would have supported William during personal challenges, underscoring the profound impact of Diana's absence on her family and the enduring influence of her legacy. As William and Harry honour their mother's memory on this significant day, the world reflects on Diana's contributions to humanitarian causes and her lasting imprint on the British royal family and beyond.
