On the 30th August, The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry will meet at Kensington Palace with representatives from charities supported by their mother Diana, Princess of Wales. The engagement will allow The Princes to pay tribute to the life and work of their mother the day before the twentieth anniversary of her death.
At the start of the engagement Their Royal Highnesses, with The Duchess of Cambridge, will visit The Sunken Garden in the grounds of Kensington Palace, which this year has been transformed into a White Garden, dedicated to their mother.
Together they will be given a tour by the Head Gardener, along with a gardener who knew The Princess from her frequent visits there. The design and planning of this special garden will be explained, with some of The Princess’s favourite plants pointed out.
Their Royal Highnesses will then meet with a small number of representatives, both past and present, from some of the main charities The Princess supported in the final years of her life. These include Great Ormond Street Hospital; the National Aids Trust; The Leprosy Mission; Royal Marsden Hospital; English National Ballet; and Centrepoint. Together they will reflect on the significant achievements of The Princess, and the legacy of her work which continues to resonate with so many today.
