10 Times Princess Diana Proved She Was Just Like A Regular Mum

4 min read

The late Princess Diana was fondly known as the “People’s Princess,” and it’s not difficult to see why. To this day, she is remembered with love by people from all walks of life. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those who admired her around the world.

Over two decades since her tragic death, the charming mum of two is remembered as a beautiful royal, but most of all, as a loving mum to two adorable boys.

Let’s take a look back at some of the most heartwarming – and relatable – Princess Diana mum moments. Her charm and grace live on in her sons William and Harry as well as in the grandchildren she never got a chance to meet, George and Charlotte.

10 Princess Diana mum moments we absolutely adore!

Many have compared the late princess with William’s wife, Kate Middleton. Aside from their similar fashion sense, they both have charming personalities, a humble air and a kind demeanour. Most of all, they’re both hands-on mummies!

Here are some of the relatable Princess Diana mum moments the world will never forget!

1. Remember that time she taught her boys to ride ponies and horses?

While regular mums don’t really give their kids ponies, the experience would be similar to teaching your child ride a bike. There is a feeling of trust as you show your unsure child how to navigate with confidence. And they rise to the challenge because they know you’re there to catch them if they fall.

2. She made sure she would often drop off and pick up her kids from school

Just like any mum, Princess Diana’s mornings were made up of getting the kids ready for the day. If only we could all look as effortlessly stylish and unhurried as she did, right?

3. Bonding time meant hugs and tickles

There’s nothing quite as comforting as being in mummy’s embrace at any age! Remember how she would often sit William or Harry down on her lap for a nice little chat? Or tickle and hug them often? This is something affectionate mummies surely can relate to!

4. Like all mums, a trip to the beach means mummy becomes the lifeguard on duty

It doesn’t matter if there is an ACTUAL lifeguard watching the beach, hands-on mummies like Diana know that there’s nothing safer than a mother’s watchful eye.

5. When she was way ahead of us when it comes to #OOTDs

If they had Instagram back in the 90s, we are certain that Diana would share photos of her boys in adorable matching #OOTDs, which is something mums these days love to do!

6. Remember when she organised family photo sessions?

Mums just want to capture every family moment. How she would bring everyone together for photo ops is a truly relatable Princess Diana mum moment.

7. When she hovered while William did his homework

Raise your hand if you’re guilty of looking over your kid’s shoulder to make sure they’re doing their homework correctly. Yes, Princess Diana was just like you.

8. When she would always make sure her boys were safe

Remember that time she made sure her little boys were safe on a ski lift? Princess Diana expertly held on to her gear, while holding onto her youngest Harry with the other. Now, that’s mummy multitasking in style!

9. When she patiently watched over her boys at play

Sure, it was July and they wanted to wear their Halloween costumes, but she knew that indulging her kids’ imagination was a special occasion in itself. She made sure they were safe while letting them play and be silly!

10. …and whenever she was a kid at heart!

Princess Diana had a reputation for being stylish and put-together, but when it came to her kids she was laid-back. If William or Harry wanted to ruffle her hair or turn her into a human playground, she was up for it!

In that way, Princess Di was just like any regular mum who would do anything to make their kids happy. Yes, even letting them bury her in the sand, riding rollercoasters and playing puzzles with them!
