The Royalist - William & Harry Prepare to Remember "Mummy"

William & Harry Prepare to Remember "Mummy"

Written by Joanne Leyland

Friday, 24 March 2006

It's being reported that Princes William and Harry will be spending this coming Sunday together so as to continue a tradition of remembering Diana on Mother's Day.

According to the Daily Star, the young Princes always take time out on this special day of the year to privately remember their Mum. So important is the day to William and Harry that "senior Royals" are alleged to have asked senior military commanders at Sandhurst to allow the two Princes to leave the academy so as to be together.

William is currently continuing his training at the Surrey academy but Harry is out of the country, on manoeuvres in Cyprus.

A 'Royal source' tells the Star's Royal reporter Stephen Rigley: "The two young Princes are determined that Diana's memory should never die. Wherever possible they get together on Mother's Day and remember Diana, not as a fashion icon or global superstar but as a caring, loving mother."

"Even when William was at St. Andrews University and Harry was at Eton they always managed to talk to each other on Mother's Day. Their mother was a very special person who brought the boys up well."

"She made sure they always tried to do the right thing and they want to keep her memory going. They are very grateful the Army have been so understanding."

The report goes on to claim that this may be the last Mother's Day the brothers spend together as Harry is expected to be serving in Iraq next March, although such a posting is unlikely for William due to his future as Prince of Wales and future King.

For once, Prince Harry is on the receiving end of praise from a newspaper. Today's report claims he is impressing his Sandhurst bosses much more than William, it being claimed that Harry can do far more press-ups and sit-ups than his olderr brother, who always managed to overshadow Harry throughout their earlier schooldays.

So William and Harry are going to spend Mother's Day together so as to continue a tradition of remembering their Mum. Hmmm this tradition seems to be lost on Harry who has been on excerise in the lead up to this Sunday and is now currently in Cyprus on r and r. Doesn't seem to concerned about the importance of the day or who it is for. Me thinks this is a little bit of creative pr by Clarance house or the Royals to make the public think the boys remember or care for Diana. Reality sounds very different. The story was written by Dean Rousewell under the title 'Sun, Sea and Sandhurst'.

Name: Ann	Comment: It looks like Harry never met up with William to remember Diana on Mother's Day. The People newspaper reported that he was joining Army pals on a pub crawl today. Harry is partying in sunny Cyprus with 250 Sandhurst mates. I think you're right Kate..the spin doctors are working overtime again.

Name: Virginia Lovett	Comment: I'm so pleased to hear that William and Harry are going to celebrate Mother's Day together, it's a real tribute to Diana that they feel so strongly about always remembering how important her memory is to them. It's too bad Diana can't be remembered to the public this way. As a note to these two exeptional men, I'm sure Mummy will always appreciate every good deed you do for her.

Prince William and Prince Harry can allowed visit his mother's grave on her birthday or whatever if both wanted its very traditional when Diana died but when William come to Diana's grave on his mother's 40th birthday and William going alone but Harry dont going with William to Diana's graves on his mother's 40th birthday.

but no matters for US and UK and any world have mother's days and father's day its very tradtional in the country also.

but William and Harry wanted give his mother the Princess of Wales for mother's day its would be so honour for Diana but im not sure what its would be?

you know Princess Diana was superstar in the royalty in the history and glamorous Princess since her marriages to Prince Charles in 1981 but she was more popular Princess but never let Diana down but kept her legacy strongs!

I don't think the Royals understood how important Diana was to the family firm until after her death. I think they now regret the fact that they did not treat her better, or utilize some of her ways of thinking and ideas, it took her death for them to realize that! I am glad to see the boys celebrating their mother on Mothers Day! I had read in a newspaper article or magazine article (can't remember where I read it) that when William becomes King he will have a proper memorial put up in London somewhere for his mother. I think it is a private thing for William & Harry to remember there mother, we the public have no business knowing how or where they remember there mother and/or any details on what they do. Carrie

Name: kate	Comment: Also, Ann, the monarchy should be the ones paying for the statue, as Diana was every bit part of the Royal Family History, being the mother of a future king of Great Britian. They should have embraced this woman, in death and should have touted her good works, instead of trying to whitewash her from history. The RF would have been much more thought of today.!

I agree with you Tracey..why don't the boys show more support for their mother in public instead of letting her be whitewashed from history. They should publicly demand that a proper memorial be built for Diana near KP and that stupid 'ditch' be closed and dismantled.
I would like to see a statue of Diana kneeling down hugging a child, surrounded by a rose garden and a waterfall with some benches where people can sit and remember Diana. It doesn't have to cost a fortune..just something simple and appropriate that doesn't require much upkeep. It should be a fitting tribute to the Princess of Wales, a place of remembrance and quiet contemplation for the public.
They are both grownup men now..it's time they took a stand to honour and remember their mother. If they speak up..it will get done.

I'm sure both boys must miss Diana terribly..especially on Mother's Day. They are both a credit to her as a mother.

Name: kate	Comment: I hope this is the way they feel, honestly. There have been so many stories out there asking WHY, Diana is never mentioned etc. OR HOW can they accept camilla , when she helped create Diana's unhappiness.. I hope the spin doctors hve not just caught wind of the comments made by the masses and are using this to quieten the murmurings of the people.

Name: Laura	Comment: I think it's nice that the Prince's are allowed to be together on Mothers day. I think Diana has a important place in their lives, and I believe they adore her as much now as they ever have. I think they keep their grief private and I think that is right.

These reports are really laughable sometimes.
In the first paragraph we have them always together on Mother's Day and a special request to Sandhurst to let them be together.

Then we have the fact that when they were at Eton and Uni they just spoke on the phone, when it would have been easy for them to get together.

Absolute tosh from start to finish and just another way for the papers to use Diana.

In private I have no doubt the brothers often talk and share reminiscences about their Mum.

Name: LittleMo	Comment: At last - tangible proof that Willam and Harry do pay personal tribute to their mother in their own and private way. Maybe some of the critics in the forum will now 'pipe down' on this subject.

Name: Tracey	Comment: If this is so, why only Mother's day and why is it so hard to also remember 'Mummy' in public as well

This is a very touching article. Clearly, Diana sons love her very much, and a mother of that caliber deserves to be remembered each and every day, as I am sure is the case with William and Harry. The boys were her priority in life, and she in turn has become theirs. Diana raised two well rounded, sensitive young men and I am confident she is looking down from Heaven, as pleased as punch! As a note to Diana's sons: Never fear, your Mom is always, and will always be present in your life! She loves you still.
