When it comes to Prince William, most people's impression is still stuck on his status as the second in line to the British throne. As the eldest son of Crown Prince Charles, Prince William was destined to assume royal responsibilities and become a public figure.
However, when we follow the camera to observe this prince, we will also find another side of him - a son who quietly assumes and fulfills the duties of a prince, while also striving to inherit and carry forward his mother's legacy.
In public, Prince William rarely mentions his mother, the late Princess Diana. Whenever asked by the media about family or childhood, Prince William expressed his desire to keep some private memories in his heart.
This low-key and restrained style often gives people a sense of alienation, but in fact, this is exactly the personality of Prince William.
As a member of the royal family, Prince William learned how to be a responsible public figure from an early age. He realized that the royal family should not show too much private feelings, because it was related to the image of the royal family and the stability of the monarchy. So, he chose to approach these details in a more restrained way.
However, this low-key attitude does not mean that Prince William has forgotten his mother. On the contrary, it is precisely because the nostalgia for her is so strong that Prince William will try to avoid mentioning it in public in order to maintain a semblance of calm.
He condensed these emotions deep in his heart and tried to face the public with more composure.
In private, Prince William has actually been commemorating his mother through a lot of practical actions, proving that he remembered the most important spiritual legacy of Princess Diana during her lifetime and was a good son who was exemplary.
He has initiated and participated in many public welfare projects, involving areas that Princess Diana cared about during her lifetime. This low-key and continuous public welfare action is how Prince William truly remembers his mother.
This year, Prince William personally funded the launch of a large-scale public welfare project "Homewards", which aims to help solve the problem of homelessness across the UK within the next 5 years.
The project's unprecedentedly high target shows Prince William's ambitions. There is a deeper meaning behind it: it is the best remembrance of the deceased mother.
As we all know, Princess Diana was most enthusiastic about public welfare during her lifetime, especially helping the homeless. In the 80s of the 20th century, when most people were still afraid of AIDS patients, Princess Diana began to visit AIDS patients and shake hands and hugs them to eliminate public discrimination against patients.
Diana also often visited the homeless in secret to provide them with their daily necessities. It can be said that helping the disadvantaged is Princess Diana's lifelong wish.
As the son of the Princess, Prince William witnessed his mother's good deeds since he was a child. After Princess Diana's death, he has always felt gratitude and admiration. The launch of the "Homewards" project is her best memorial, passing on her mother's humanitarian spirit with practical actions.
The project aims to improve the lives of 20,000 homeless people in the UK within five years, providing them with housing and job training to help them reintegrate into society. As the initiator, Prince William not only personally funded the project, but also regularly inspected the project. It is foreseeable that with his determination, he will be able to successfully fulfill this promise and fulfill his mother's last wish.
It is not difficult to see that although Prince William rarely mentions his thoughts of his mother in public, he expresses his remembrance and admiration for her with firm actions. This low-key and restrained quality shows his noble sentiments as a prince. Remembering my mother's legacy and upholding kindness to help the weak is our social responsibility as a member of the royal family.
It can be said that Prince William perfectly interpreted what a "good son" is with his actual actions. He commemorated Princess Diana in this unpretentious and noble way, and also let us see the sincerity and kindness of the descendants of the royal family. We sincerely hope that Prince William will successfully achieve the goals of the "Homewards" project and continue to carry forward the humanitarian spirit that he and his mother inherited."
