Princess Diana's Close Friend Buys Toys for Prince George as Tribute to His Late Grandma

Princess Diana's dear companion Julia Samuel is keeping alive Diana's spirit through a fun loving tradition. She purchased toys for Prince George as a tribute to his late grandmother.

Samuel recently made an appearance on the podcast called "How To Fail With Elizabeth Day." During the interview, the psychotherapists discussed being a godmother to George.

"I do to George what [Diana] did to us, which is give impossible toys that are really noisy and take a lot of making," Samuel shared.

MADE THE PRINCE LAUGH

"I come in slightly tipped by the size of the present that William then has to spend days putting together," she added. "And then put all the machinery together, and it makes awful tooting noises and lights flashing and all of that."

Samuel continued that the toys make her and the 6-year-old royal giggle. She described George as "funny and feisty and cheeky."

The podcast was released on July 1. That day would have been Diana's 59th birthday, as reported by PEOPLE. According to Samuel, her preferred memory of the People's Princess was her laugh.
