“Each year on Mother’s Day, George, Charlotte and Louis make cards remembering their Granny, Diana, for William,” read the caption along with the photo. The first picture showed a bright green coloured card made by Princess Charlotte. It also featured a handwritten note wherein she said that she was remembering Prince Diana on the occasion of mother’s day and also that ‘papa’ was missing her.  

Prince George, also penned a heartfelt note to his grandmother echoing her sister’s voice. “Happy Happy mother’s day. I love you very much and think of you always”. Meanwhile, 3-year-old Prince Louis also contributed his bit by making an abstract heart cut out on plain white paper. 

The card, shared on the occasion of British mother’s day, has left netizens in tears with the post racking up over 43 thousand likes and hundreds of comments. While netizens lauded the kids’ heartfelt gesture, the post soon turned into a battleground between the ‘Sussex’ and ‘Cambridge squad. “We all remember how Diana had a strong sense of duty. She would have been proud of William. and we all know from her interviews she wanted him to be the future king,” wrote a user. While, another contradicted him and said, “Oh you are back after the little Sarah Everard PR stunt.”

'It would be different this year' 

Meanwhile, the post also highlighted that mother’s day would be “different” amidst the ongoing pandemic. In the post, the Cambridge royals also expressed their condolences to those who lost their mothers amid COVID-19.  “This year Mother’s Day will be different once again. Many of us will be apart from our loved ones, but looking forward to a time in the not too distant future when we can give our mother a hug again. But for those experiencing bereavement, today may be particularly challenging,” they wrote.
