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.
