A walk Through the Flowers: William and Harry honour Their Mother

William and Harry honour Their Mother

Nearly 20-years-ago, a 15-year-old Prince William and 12-year-old Prince Harry walked through the mountains of flowers at the gates of Kensington Palace while both trying to comprehend the effect their mother had on other and dealing with what no child should have to deal with so young.

Fast forward to yesterday, and the boys were right back to the gates, viewing the flowers left in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales while rain fell from the sky almost as a way to complement the tears being shed by onlookers.

The unannounced walk was led by Prince William pointing out tributes to Harry, many including pictures of Diana with her sons.

"Look at my shades" exclaimed the Duke of Cambridge to one.

Others included notes, one reading "Diana

"Always "Queen of Hearts"

"You will never be forgotten by the nation."

The two were relaxed, talking to well-wishers and excepting flowers from a group of children who would have never known Diana.

William pointed out the Harry how much further the flowers were 20-years-ago. "Last time, it was all the way down."

Prince Harry

Earlier in the day, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry visited the White Garden at Kensington Palace that has been open since the spring in memory of Diana.

While in the garden, the trio received a tour of the work being done as well as meeting with representatives from charities that were close to Diana’s heart, like Centrepoint, the Royal Marsden and Great Ormond Street hospitals, the National Aids Trust, and the Leprosy Mission.

The garden was been designed by Sean Harkin who gave the Duke and Duchess and Prince Harry insight on his designs inspired by her life and style, like her famous white "Elvis" Catherine Walker dress.

Once the garden closes, Harry expressed that he would like to keep some of the flowers, moving them to his own small garden on his private home at Kensington Palace.
