Royal fans have sad theory on why Prince William and Prince Harry don’t acknowledge Princess Diana’s birthday on social media
Royal fans are reflecting on what would have been Princess Diana’s 64th birthday today (July 1), questioning why her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, don’t publicly mark the occasion online.
The brothers last commemorated her birthday together in 2021, unveiling a statue at Kensington Palace on her 60th. In a joint statement, they honored her “love, strength and character,” expressing their enduring wish that she were still alive.
Since then, neither prince has posted public tributes on social media, sparking speculation among fans. Some believe the grief remains too painful, while others argue they honor her privately in their own ways.
In 2017, the brothers participated in a documentary for the 20th anniversary of her death, sharing heartfelt memories. William described her as preparing them “well for life,” while Harry called her “the best mum in the world.”
Subtle tributes continue through their children—both Charlotte and Lilibet bear Diana as a middle name. Fans also note William’s charitable work mirrors his mother’s legacy, particularly his focus on homelessness through his initiative, Homewards.
Today, William visited a Sheffield homeless project, echoing Diana’s advocacy. Supporters see this as a quiet yet powerful way to honor her, rather than public posts.
While the princes avoid social media tributes, their actions reflect Diana’s enduring influence. As one fan noted, “William is carrying on your legacy with deep compassion,” proving remembrance doesn’t always require public gestures.
