Princess Diana was very close to her two sons Prince William and Prince Harry.

The late Princess of Wales was a hands-on mom. She was often photographed with Prince William and Prince Harry when they were still kids.

In a throwback photo shared on Instagram, Princess Diana can be seen with wide open arms as she runs toward her boys. She has a huge smile on her face while Prince William and Prince Harry look at her.

“The world lost their Princess but these two boys lost their mother,” the caption read.

According to a number of netizens, this was among their favorite photo of Princess Diana and her two sons. This was taken after she returned from a trip without them.

“I always loved this picture and video of her rushing to reunite with her boys after a trip...so sweet!!” one user wrote.

Prince William and Prince Harry were aware of Prince Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. They saw how their parents bicker and how their argument always ended up with their mom crying.

According to Andrew Morton in his 2011 book “William and Catherine: Their Lives, Their Wedding,” one time, Prince Harry launched an attack on Prince Charles. He tried to beat his father on his legs with his little fists and told the future king he hated him for making Princess Diana cry.

Katie Nicholl shared a similar incident involving Prince William. According to the royal biographer, one time, Prince William yelled at the Prince of Wales “I hate you” while asking him why he always makes their mom, Princess Diana, cry.

It wasn’t a secret to many that Prince Charles has always loved Camilla even before he married Princess Diana. In fact, the Princess of Wales was aware of this. She made a shocking confession to Morton for her biography, telling him that when she was walking down the aisle, she looked for Camilla and was hoping that her affair with Prince Charles was already over. Unfortunately, she was disappointed.

Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ honeymoon was also a disaster. The future king hurt his wife when he took a photo of Camilla and wore the cufflinks she gifted to him that made Princess Diana jealous.
