Princess Diana was known as ‘the People’s Princess’ and for good reason; her charity work combined with her very genuine want to help people made her one of the most likeable members of the royal family to-date.
And many royal watchers have noticed, this streak for helping others has been passed down to her firstborn son: Prince William.
WATCH! Prince William visiting New Zealand to honour terrorist attack victims on ANZAC Day
Despite rumours of a royal feud flying for months, when it comes time to perform his royal duties, Prince William steps up, something we saw following the horrendous terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch that killed 50 people.
Following the news a gunman opened fire on two mosques in New Zealand, a palace aide confirmed William would be flying out (missing Louis birthday) to pay tribute to those who were injured and killed during the attack.
“New Zealand also has a great affection for the Duke and the royal family,” the official statement from the palace aide read, “It was very much the Duke’s decision to come to New Zealand, he wanted to do something and not just something reactive. He worked with the country’s Prime Minister on the visit and the timing. It was decided that doing the trip a month after the attacks would give it a bit of a legacy.”
On Friday the Duke of Cambridge delivered a heartfelt speech at Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, reminding many people of his mother’s passion for supporting people through tough times.
“A terrorist attempted to sow division and hatred in a place that stands for togetherness and selflessness,” William told an audience, “He thought he could redefine what this space was. I am here to help you show the world that he failed.”
Like mother, like son!
