Today would mark Princess Diana’s 55th birthday, and if she were still here she would probably be playing with her two grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The Princess of Wales was a fashion icon, humanitarian, philanthropist, the people’s princess and most of all, mother.

If she saw Prince George, he would surely remind her of her youngest son, Prince Harry, now 31.

It’s been more than 18 years since the Lady Diana tragically died in Paris after a car crash at just 36.

Her boys, William and Harry, have become wonderful role models that have vouched to keep her memory alive.

Harry went to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and was later commissioned as a Cornet into the Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry Regiment, serving temporarily with his brother, and completed his training as a troop leader. In 2007–2008, he served in Helmand, Afghanistan and later returned to Afghanistan for a 20-week deployment in 2012–2013 with the Army Air Corps.

On 6 March 2014, Prince Harry launched Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style sporting event for injured servicemen and women, which was held on 10–14 September 2014.

William obtained a degree from the University of St Andrews and spent parts of a gap year in Chile, Belize, and some parts of Africa. In December 2006, he completed 44 weeks of training as an officer cadet, being commissioned in the Blues and Royals Regiment.

In April 2008, he qualified as a pilot (earning his wings) by completing pilot training at Royal Air Force College Cranwell. He then underwent helicopter flying training in order to become a full-time pilot with the RAF Search and Rescue Force in early 2009. His more than seven-and-a-half years of full-time service with the British Armed Forces ended in September 2013.

William married Catherine Middleton, on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey. Hours prior to the event, he was created Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus. Their first child, Prince George of Cambridge, was born on 22 July 2013, and their second, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, was born on 2 May 2015.

In honour of what would have been Princess Diana’s 55th birthday on July 1, we’re taking a look back at some of the sweetest moments captured on camera…
