威廉王子生日快乐!黛安娜王妃与小王子的20张珍贵档案照释出

或许对英国女王来说,唯一比长子查尔斯黛安娜王妃婚礼更值得大肆赞扬庆祝的是1981年黛安娜首次宣布怀孕的消息。当时全球都对黛安娜王妃即将迎接小小威廉王子的诞生而感到十分狂喜,他们选择在位於伦敦丁顿私人圣玛丽医院进行生产。这是一个值得向全世界广播时刻,毕竟先前皇室宝宝的诞生都在皇宫里进行。

黛安娜王妃宣布怀第二胎并在1984年生下小儿子利王子时,全球各地关注皇室消息的群众再次欢呼不已。黛安娜王妃证明了自己是一个完美的母亲,她打破皇室旧规,亲自为孩子命名,这以往是皇室的工作;她拒绝请皇家保母,自己决定孩子未来的生活方式,包括要选哪一间学校就读。黛安娜王妃很少缺席在两个孩子身旁,当时我们都不知道他们的相处会如此稍纵即逝—1996年黛安娜王妃在巴黎的一场车祸中丧生。

6月21日是剑桥公爵威廉王子37岁生日,我们在此回顾黛安娜王妃与孩子们独特而罕见的珍贵档案照。

Perhaps the only thing more feted than the wedding of The Queen's first born son, Prince Charles, to Lady Diana Spencer, was the announcement that the Princess was pregnant with her first child, in 1981. The world was overjoyed when Princess Diana welcomed baby Prince William, choosing to do so in the private Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London. It was a moment broadcast the world over–after all, previously, royal births took place in the Palace.

Royal watchers across the globe cheered once more when The Princess of Wales announced her second pregnancy and gave birth to a second son, Prince Harry, in 1984. Princess Diana proved herself to be a truly wonderful mother–choosing to break royal protocol where she saw fit. She chose their first given names, which was previously done by the Palace, refused to have a royal nanny and took it upon herself to personally make the decisions about the young princes' personal lives–including what school they would attend. Princess Diana was rarely seen without her two boys and while we didn’t know it then, sadly, her time with her sons would be fleeting–Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1996.

As Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, turned 37 today, here we look back on his relationship with Princess Diana with these very special and rarely seen photographs.
