Should Diana have been included in the post?

However, one follower thought Princess Diana should’ve been included in her son’s birthday post, commenting: “Diana,” and a crying emoji.

Some also claimed the original picture actually featured Diana and she had been cropped out in the post.

One said: “The picture of Charles holding the baby was published originally with his mother in it.

“As many have said she’s been airbrushed from history. Don’t upload a picture where you have to cut out the other person,” they added.

Many royal fans were philosophical about Diana’s absence, though.

“Diana is gone. Life goes on. Millions of families will testify to that,” said one fan.

“Why not wish him a happy birthday instead?” another responded.

However, another spoke for many followers with their comment.

“Diana would be so proud of her son,” they said.
