She left behind two sons who have since grown into men. They will always carry the memories of their mother with them, and it's important to them to keep her legacy alive.

Prince William said in a documentary about her life titled "Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy" that it's important for his children to know who their grandmother was.

Both sons recall that Princess Diana enjoyed being a mother most of all and cherished the private moments she had with her son.

Growing up in the spotlight, it was inevitable that the photographers and paparazzi would jump at any opportunity to snap the princess with her sons.

He said: “One thing I would love to ask her now because I genuinely think that she got satisfaction out of dressing myself and William up in the most bizarre outfits, normally matching."

They often vacationed together and could be seen soaking in the sun on. The photo below was taken in 1991 at Niagara Falls.
