A Gesture by Harry revives a family tradition That honors his mother's legacy and strengthens family bonds
In the day-to-day life of the Windsors, celebrations always come with curious glances. The members of the royal family are always surrounded by expectation. They keep a protocol and public profile, but personal tokens are often noticed.
Despite the family tensions of recent years, happy moments remain a priority. Recently, Prince Louis celebrated his seventh birthday, an occasion that showed an emotional gesture from his uncle, Prince Harry.
An Unexpected Gift from Prince Harry for Louis
Last April 23, the British royal family commemorated Louis's birthday and a gift from Prince Harry recalled a family tradition that connects generations. The Duke of Sussex surprised his nephew with a gift that goes beyond top-level. A first edition of the book Winnie the Pooh by A A Milne, dated 1926.
This book not only has great economic value, priced at £8,000 (almost 10,000 euros), but also an emotional weight. This is a tribute to Harry's mother, Princess Diana. According to close sources, Harry chose this book for Louis when he was only two years old, following a tradition of Diana, known for her love of first editions of classic books.
This custom, which Diana passed on to her children, remains alive in Harry, deciding to start a small library for William and Kate's three children. Although he initially considered gifting a first edition of "Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll," with a much higher value. Finally, Harry opted for Winnie the Pooh as a more accessible and meaningful gesture.
Diana's Legacy That Endures in Family Memories
Prince Harry's gift is much more than a collectible item. It is a symbol of memories and the emotional connection with his mother. As a close friend of Harry recalled, one of the happiest moments of his childhood was when Diana read him bedtime stories.
Diana, a great lover of literature, instilled in her children her passion for books. Harry now keeps alive this passion with his nephew Louis. This gesture adds to other moments of closeness of Harry with the youngest members of the royal family, despite his distance.
Gifting a literary piece of such value highlights the family bond and also Harry's desire to continue his mother's tradition. Over the years, this book could become a valuable relic. Perhaps, a legacy for future generations of the royal family.
