A Look at Princess Diana’s Life Through Photos You Have Never Seen Before

A Christening, a Queen-in-Training, and a Future King

In this resplendent Buckingham Palace photo, a radiant Princess Diana cradles baby William post-christening. This 1982 keepsake captures a beaming royal, proud as a peacock, with a nugget of the future who would one day queue up for England’s throne.

Behind them, the royal ensemble of Charles and Philip stands in contrast to the seated regality of Queen Elizabeth II and the Queen Mother. More than just a pretty snapshot, this moment exudes the pure love and unbreakable bond between Diana and her firstborn, laying the groundwork for William’s eventual ascendancy.
