On their social media accounts, the duke and duchess of Cambridge shared Prince George’s, Prince Louis’ and Princess Charlotte’s sweet messages they wrote on handmade cards to Diana.
“Dear Granny Diana, Happy Mothers Day,” Prince George wrote. “I love you very much and think of you always, sending lots of love.”

Writing cards to Princess Diana on Mother’s Day is a tradition that William’s kids take part in each year, the duke and duchess of Cambridge wrote in a tweet, which also highlighted the challenges that many across the U.K. may face while being apart from loved ones amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Looking forward to a time when we can give our mother a hug again,” they wrote. “Whatever your circumstances, we are thinking of you this Mother’s Day.”
