Princess Diana was known for her charitable works and love for children. She was adored and respected by many across U.K. and even in other countries because of her grounded personality. Diana's children, Prince William and Prince Harry, have taken the good values that their mother imparted them with as they grow older. In their own way, they are keeping Princess Diana’s legacy alive.

Prince Harry has somehow inherited Princess Diana’s love for children. In 1997, the princess went to Angola in South Africa, where she visited the victims of land mines and took particular interest in the children. In 2013, Prince Harry followed suit, where he was photographed enjoying his time with the children.

Woman’s Day reports Prince William “has a magic touch with children.” The publication shared a photo during the prince’s visit to South America in 2014, where he chatted with two young orphans who also lost their mothers to a tragedy. The prince was reportedly almost moved to tears hearing about the children’s fate.

The 30-year also co-founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. The charity aims to aid vulnerable children and the poverty-stricken inhabitants of the South African kingdom.

Prince William reportedly took after Princess Diana’s legacy as well by being the head of the Royal Marsden Hospital Trust in 2007. His mother was its president for eight years.

The father-of-two also kept his mother’s legacy by giving then fiancée Kate Middleton the same 12-carat sapphire engagement ring that Prince Charles gave Diana back in 1981. He explained his reason for presenting his mum's ring to Kate in an interview with British journalist Tom Bradby.

"Obviously she's not going to be around to share any of the fun and excitement of it all – this was my way of keeping her close to it all," William told Bradby in an ABC News report.

Prince William and Kate Middleton also gave a nod to the late princess through their daughter’s name, Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. They brought their firstborn Prince George on his first royal tour in Australia, similar to William’s first official tour with his parents back in 1983. According to the Woman's Day report, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge even asked one of Princess Diana’s close friends, Julia Samuel, to be Prince George’s godmother. This way they have someone who can share stories with the toddler about the beloved princess.
