Prince William posts unseen photo of Diana from family's private collection

William was aged 15 when his mother Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

The Prince of Wales has posted a previously unseen photo of Diana from the family's private collection to mark Mother's Day.

The picture showsPrince William, then aged two, with his mother in a field of blooming flowers, including poppies, at the family's main home at Highgrove, Gloucestershire, in 1984.

He posted the image, which is believed to have not been shared publicly before, on social media with the caption: "Remembering my mother, today and every day.

"Thinking of all those who are remembering someone they love today.

Happy Mother's Day."
The picture of him andDiana, Princess of Wales, resembles one of the King with his sons Prince William and Prince Harry in a poppy field at Highgrove, featured in the family's 1994 Christmas card.

William was 15 years old when his mother died in the early hours of 31 August 1997, after she was involved in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris.

Diana, who was 36 when she died, would have turned 65 on 1 July this year.

The Prince of Wales previously said that his own children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, were making cards toremember their "Granny Diana" on Mother's Day every year.

In 2021, Kensington Palace shared the cards, which included handwritten heartfelt messages.

Charlotte, then five years old, wrote: "Dear Granny Diana I am thinking of you on Mother's Day.

I love you very much.

Papa is missing you.

Lots of love Charlotte xxxxxxxxx."
Her then seven-year-old brotherGeorge's card said: "Dear Granny Diana, Happy, happy mothers day.

I love you very much and think of you always, Sending lots of love from George xxxxx."
Louis, aged three at the time, painted a big heart with animal stickers to commemorate his grandmother.

To mark this year's Mother's Day, the Royal Family also shared pictures on X, including some of the late Queen.

One of the photos shows Elizabeth with Charles and his sister Anne, now the Princess Royal, at Balmoral in 1953, before Andrew and Edward were born.

The three are sitting on a garden bench with the Queen's corgi, Sue, in the background.
