Meanwhile, a royal expert claimed William’s birthday will be “tinged with sadness” because Diana won’t be there to celebrate with him.
Expert Katie Nicholl told OK! Magazine: “William misses his mother. It must be emotional for him that she’s not here to share this.
“She’s still a significant part of his life so inevitably, on his birthday, his thoughts will be with her.”
