Prince George to honour Princess Diana's legacy in a surprising way

Prince William has revealed that his son, Prince George, might be following in the footsteps of his late grandmother, Princess Diana, in a deeply meaningful way.

During a recent investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, the Prince of Wales met Wendy Daunt, a teacher recognized for her decades of voluntary work with the deaf community. 

Wendy, who was awarded an OBE for her contributions to deaf education, told the BBC that the royal conversation quickly turned to Princess Diana’s legacy, and how it might inspire the next generation.

“I wanted to tell him how proud the deaf community were of his mother, Princess Diana,” Wendy shared. 

“She once came to the British Deaf Association conference in Blackpool, signed on stage, and people were in awe. It meant so much.”

According to Wendy, Prince William was visibly moved by her words. When she asked if his children, George, Charlotte and Louis might learn to sign, William responded thoughtfully. 

“His face said, ‘I’m not sure,’ but then he said, ‘Maybe Prince George would like to.’”

Wendy even offered to teach the young royal herself, but added with a smile: “I think it would be better if a boy his own age taught him football signs. I’d love for Prince George to be friends with deaf children.”
