20 Years After: Prince William and Harry Remember mum: Princess Diana
Two decades ago, a 12-year-old Prince Harry and 15-year-old Prince William stood in front of Kensington Palace’s gold gate, where an unprecedented memorial, with bouquets and cards and tributes stretching as far as the eye could see, had sprung up for their late mother, Princess Diana. At the time, it was confusing: “You didn't even know her, why and how are you so upset?” Prince William remembers wondering.
And yesterday, to mark the 20th anniversary of her death, Prince Harry and Prince William returned to that same touching scene. The memorial was smaller, the decision impromptu—the princes were there to visit Diana’s White Garden, but once they saw the tribute, they went to pay their respects and greet well-wishers despite the pouring rain. Many fans handed the princes bouquets to lay down themselves.

Kensington Palace soon tweeted about the touching scene.
“The duke and Prince Harry are grateful for the many flowers, letters, and messages they have received about their mother,” Kensington Palace tweeted. “They wanted to say thank you to those who made the journey to Kensington Palace.”
