On Instagram, the post sharing the children’s cards read: “Each year on Mother’s Day, George, Charlotte and Louis make cards remembering their Granny, Diana, for William.”

Twitter, meanwhile, noted the difference for this year’s celebration: “This year Mother’s Day will be different once again. Many of us will be apart from our loved ones, but looking forward to a time in the not too distant future when we can give our mother a hug again.”

It seems the children call Prince William Papa instead of dad.

Diana died in a car accident in a Parisian tunnel in August 1997, stunning the world and marking what many think of as a turning point for the Monarchy.x

The youngest Cambridge, Louis, three next month, signed his name on a picture of a heart with cut out animals and insects.
