Princess Diana died almost 26 years ago, but her legacy lives on with her eldest son, Prince William. The 41-year-old Prince of Wales honored his mother while giving a speech honoring the new Homewards initiative, a five-year program to help end homelessness. «My first visit to a homelessness shelter was when I was 11 with my mother,» the next in line to the British royal throne shared. «The visits we made, left a deep and lasting impression.»The father of three added, «I met so many extraordinary people and listened to so many heartbreaking personal stories.
Too many people have found themselves without a stable and permanent place to call home.»Princess Diana died on Aug. 31, 1997, at the age of 36.
