The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry have stopped to view the heartfelt messages, pictures and flowers left for their mother Princess Diana at the gates of Kensington Palace
The 20th anniversary of Diana's death will be commemorated on Thursday and the royal brothers, with Kate, earlier visited the garden created in her memory in the grounds of the palace, her former home.
Charity chiefs from organisations associated with Diana met the royals after their tour and Harry told one group of campaigners about how his mother's death was a tragedy for them as well as his family.
The royal brothers had spent an hour touring the temporary memorial White Garden with Kate before making the short journey to the gates, which is fast becoming a shrine to their mother.
Sheltering from the heavy rain under an umbrella William knelt down to look at some of the bouquets left in tribute to his mother, then pointed out a picture to his brother that appeared to make him laugh.
