London gets a new Diana memorial
William was joined by wife Kate Middleton who was dressed in a bright green floral dress for the special occasion.
London: Britain’s Princes William and Harry on Wednesday visited a new garden memorial created in memory of Princess Diana for the first time to pay tribute to their mother on her 20th death anniversary.
The White Garden, at Kensington Palace in London — the former home of the Princess who died in a car crash in Paris — has been created to mark 20 years since she died on August 31, 1997 in a high-speed Paris car crash.
“The engagement will allow the princes to pay tribute to the life and work of their mother,” Kensington Palace said in a statement.
“Together they will reflect on the significant achievement of the princess, and the legacy of her work which continues to resonate with so many today,” it said.
William was joined by wife Kate Middleton who was dressed in a bright green floral dress for the special occasion.
Sheltering under large umbrellas against the pouring rain, the princes and the Duchess of Cambridge met representatives from the charities supported by Diana, including Great Ormond Street Hospital, the National Aids Trust and the Leprosy Mission.
The White Garden has been inspired by memories of the Princess’ life, style and image.
