Diana sadly died in a car crash on 31st August 1997 and has left a wonderful legacy, including her two sons William and Harry.
William’s daughter was also named after his mother, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, and at times the Prince’s relationship with wife Kate has mirrored moments that Charles and Diana had too.
