Our Pick: 10 Of The Sweetest Photos Of Princess Diana & Prince Harry
While Princess Diana may have died when Prince Harry was only twelve years old, they shared a bond that's apparent in these pictures of them together.
Though it is true that the events shown in Netflix's hit series "The Crown" are dramatized, one thing the show tries to capture was Diana's fierce love for her children.
Before her fatal car accident in 1997, the Princess made efforts to stay close to her sons and give them a "normal" childhood. Many years later, her sons are all grown up, but they continue to honor their mother's legacy through charity. Here are some images that show the sweet bond between the people's Princess and her youngest son.
