The Project host Lisa Wilkinson has wished Princess Diana a happy 58th birthday. 

WATCH: Prince Harry reveals he was ‘hurt’ over how the paparazzi treated Diana 

Taking to social media, the Australian television personality posted a series of snapshots of the princess in a heartwarming Instagram post, along with the caption: “Hard to believe Diana would have turned 58 today… 

“These pics a reminder of the assured woman she was starting to become.” 

The 59-year-old former Today Show host continued: “Love this first pic in particular – a behind the scenes moment when she was sitting for American portrait painter Nelson Shanks in 1996. ” 

Diana, Princess of Wales, passed away on the 31st of August in France after a horror car accident. 

Although she was a widely beloved figure within the British royal family, none of her living family members have publicly wished Diana Spencer a happy birthday.

Her usually social media active sons, Prince William or Prince Harry have taken to social media to wish their mother a happy birthday, however, both the @sussexroyal and @kensigtonpalace social media accounts – that are run alongside their wives Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton – have dedicated posts to Canada Day. 

Happy birthday Diana, forever in our thoughts.
