“When I returned, she was on her knees with her eyes closed and her palms flat against the stone,” Harry wrote. The Duke also revealed that Meghan, whom he began dating in 2016, told him that she had asked Princess Diana for “clarity and guidance.”

Princess Diana passed away in 1997. On the eve of the 20th anniversary of her death in 2017, William, Harry and Catherine visited the White Garden at Kensington Palace. Per the Historic Royal Palace’s website, Diana “was particularly fond of the Sunken Garden” during her time at Kensington Palace, “so to mark the 20th anniversary of her death in 2017 the palace’s gardeners transformed the space into The White Garden in her memory.”
