The Princess would have been 56 years old today

Today is the birthday of the late Princess Diana. The Princess would have turned 56 years old today.

In her memory, we have collated ten of the most intimate family portraits of the Princess, showing her obvious love for her family, including her two sons Princes William and Harry.

Despite it being nearly 20 years since the Princess’ passing in a tragic car accident, her loss remains felt across the world. She is credited with touching so many lives, putting her name to numerous charity causes and opening up the monarchy to the people.

She continues to be sorely missed, but her legacy lives on in her sons, who along with the Duchess of Cambridge, are reportedly rededicating the Princess’ grave in a private ceremony to mark the occasion.
