Prince William and Kate Middleton are honoring Princess Diana for Mothering Sunday.
People across the United Kingdom are celebrating Mothering Sunday today. Like Mother's Day in the United States, Mothering Sunday is a day to honor mothers for all they do year-round. In a post on the officially Kensington Royal Instagram account today, William and Kate revealed a sweet tradition in their family.
In addition to honoring their own mother, the Cambridge kids also set aside some time every year on Mothering Sunday to pay tribute to their late grandmother, Princess Diana, apparently. Will and Kate shared the sweet drawings and letters that Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2, drew and wrote for their grandmother, who they call "Granny Diana," this year.

In his letter, George wrote, "Dear Granny Diana, Happy happy Mother's Day. I love you very much and think of you always, sending lots of love from George xxx."
As sweet as that is, however, Charlotte's letter may have even topped it. The five-year-old acknowledged how much her dad misses his own mother in her sweet letter, which was accompanied by a drawing of a heart.
"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 xxx," she wrote.
Two-year-old Louis wasn't left out. The Cambridges shared a heart-shaped piece of art the toddler made, along with his own squiggly signature.

"This year Mother’s Day will be different once again," the royals explained.
