Prince William Shares Unseen 1984 Photo of Princess Diana for Mother's Day

The Instagram tribute draws on a private family image to honor his mother publicly.

Overview

  • William posted the photograph on the Prince and Princess of Wales' official Instagram with a message remembering his mother “today and every day,” wishing a happy Mother's Day and signing it “W.”
  • The image, described as previously unseen from the family's private collection, shows Diana with a two-year-old William in a wildflower field at Highgrove in 1984.
  • The post served as a Mother's Day tribute and was framed as a personal remembrance rather than a broader announcement.
  • Major outlets including the BBC reported the release, as noted by news agency ANSA.
  • Background coverage recalls Diana's death in 1997 at age 36 and notes this remembrance comes in the year she would have turned 65 on July 1, 2026.
