Princes William and Harry paid a quiet tribute to their mother Princess Diana on Wednesday, a day before the 20th anniversary of her death that has reignited interest in one of the world¡¯s most famous women.

Diana¡¯s two sons met representatives of the charities she supported in a public garden at Kensington Palace, their home and where their mother lived until she was killed in a car crash in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997.

Outside the palace gates supporters of the royal family gathered in the rain to mark the occasion, with many praising Diana¡¯s sons for keeping her in the public memory.
