Diana<\/a> was known as the \u201cPeople\u2019s Princess\u201d and her connection with the public is something that should never be forgotten.<\/p>\n Prince William<\/a> appears to have walked in her footsteps in the most heartwarming way.<\/p>\n Royal author Tina Brown discussed William\u2019s shared characteristics with his mother in her 2022 book, The Palace Papers.<\/p>\n She reflected on a occasion where the Prince of Wales showed his gentle side.<\/p>\n Brown wrote: \u201cA local charity they diligently support is East Anglia Children\u2019s Hospices, where Kate serves as royal patron. At a charity dinner supporting the hospices at Houghton in 2016, the room was divided into small groups to meet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who chatted to each guest with synchronised informal expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n One guest, Euan Rellie, reportedly told Brown: \u201cI was struck by how absolutely perfect William and Kate are at making people feel at ease.\u201d<\/p>\n Prince William\u2019s sweet gesture<\/p>\n Brown described how Rellie allegedly witnessed a very special Prince William moment. A moment where he displayed his giving and considerate nature.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the most generous donors to the hospice charity, an elderly Park Avenue lady who had come over from the United States for the function and was a huge William fan, was stuck in her room feeling unwell and could not come down to join the other guests,\u201d Brown described.<\/p>\n Consequently, someone had mentioned to William: \u201cIt\u2019s a shame our highest-roller donor is too ill to meet you.\u201d<\/p>\n The prince then reportedly asked if anyone could make a pot of tea and pop some biscuits on a plate. Of course, William wasn\u2019t just going to have the treats sent to the woman\u2019s room.<\/p>\n We all thought, how he learned something from his mum.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n William then reportedly knocked on the door of the elderly lady\u2019s room himself.<\/p>\n He was said to have told her: \u201cI know that you were too ill to come to dinner and I thought I\u2019d bring you a cup of tea to say thank you very much for supporting the hospices.\u201d<\/p>\n Clearly, William\u2019s move went down very well. Brown continued: \u201cShe was over the moon \u2013 hard not to be. It was a gesture that showed the imagination and empathy of his mother.\u201d<\/p>\n William\u2019s \u2018classic\u2019 Princess Diana move<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a classic Diana Spencer move, just natural, gentle human kindness and had much more effect than a grand act,\u201d Rellie said. \u201cWe all thought, how he learned something from his mum.\u201d<\/p>\n Evidently, this sentiment is shared amongst royal experts.<\/p>\n Author and TV star Gyles Brandreth also said of William in his book Philip The Final Portrait: \u201cI have watched him at close range \u2013 at Highgrove, on the polo field, on the streets and in the crowd. I have seen him with the aristocracy and everyday folk. He is comfortable with both and they are comfortable with him.<\/p>\n \u201cHe shows concern and empathy, in the way Diana did but without those touches of self-consciousness and self-absorption that her manner sometimes suggested.\u201d<\/p>\n These days, we often seen William stepping out to support those in need.<\/p>\n Just yesterday, himself and Kate visited those in Southport<\/a>\u00a0affected by the devastating 2024 stabbings, where three young girls died.<\/p>\n Although a bittersweet day, William and Kate looked to fulfil their duty with grace \u2013 chatting with family and friends of those no longer with us as well as visiting local schools.<\/p>\n![\"Prince](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/coverimages55096703-819x1024.jpg\")
