It’s hard to believe it’s already been more than two decades since Princess Diana died in a tragic car accident in August 1997. The late Princess of Wales left an undeniable legacy in the royal family, and fans hold onto their favorite memories of her through old photos with sons Prince William and Prince Harry.

Diana’s eldest son, William, once opened up about having Diana as a mom and revealed how he’s been coping with her death since he was 15 years old.

“I think when you are bereaved at a very young age — anytime really, but particularly at a young age — I can resonate closely to that,” he candidly shared on the BBC’s A Royal Team Talk: Tackling Mental Health. “You feel pain like no other pain.”

Scroll below to see Diana’s cutest photos with her kids.
