Princess Diana found Sandringham tradition 'hard' says expert

The rare clip, which is only a few seconds long, shows Diana’s bond with her eldest son. A young Duke of Cambridge can be seen powdering his mother’s face while she smiles.

According to Town & Country the video precedes a 1985 family photoshoot with media outlets which took place inside the family’s Kensington Palace residence.

The image of Diana, Prince Harry and William sitting by a piano was shot that day and became one of the family’s best-known shots.

The video was shared to a Diana fan account on Instagram, where royal fans shared their opinion on the video.

One person reminisced his childhood, saying: “Funny I use to do the same thing with my mom when I was a boy in the 80’s.

According to Channel 5 documentary Secrets of the Royal Flight, Diana “joined the Royal Family” at a time when aviation was “in its heyday”.

The documentary explained: “From the engineers up to the pilots the Princess of Wales was hugely popular with the team behind the Queen’s flight.

“Joining the Royal Family when aviation was in its heyday she quickly became one of the Royal flight’s most frequent fliers, adding some much-needed glamour on every royal journey she took.”

Bob Shields, a former navigator of the royal plane, highlighted a specific time when Diana’s personality stood out.

Mr Shields said: “On one particular overseas tour we were flying with the Princess of Wales and we were in Brazil to visit an aircraft called Cataratas.

“We had left Rio in bright sunshine, beautiful weather, and according to the weather office there, it was going to be like that all day.

“So, I had sent back one of my blue cards and I had written it was going to be a fine sunny day.

“Unfortunately, on the way back from Cataratas the weather started to change and change very rapidly.”

Mr Shields went on to explain that the Princess was given a blue card which dictated the anticipated weather amongst other information.

In return, Diana wrote a funny note at the bottom of the card.

Mr Shields added: “This is the actual card that I completed the day after we had the bad weather, and her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, she sent it back to me with a little comment that you can see right down at the bottom there,” he said.

“She had just written B__S which was indicative of her royal highness and her sense of humour.”
