I think W&K seem to be focussing big celebration days on those who may find those days hard for some reason or another - there was a post on Catherine's birthday about birthday being very different recently and thanking key workers. I don't doubt that the children do make cards for Diana and William at this special time to mark his mother no longer being with him, especially as Catherine is so close to her mother. They did also post celebrating Catherine and Carole as mothers so I guess they just felt it right to also acknowledge Diana, especially in the year they will unveil a new memorial statue to her.
There is also a big trend at the moment in the UK to acknowledging that Mothers Day can be a really hard time for some people e.g those who have lost their mother. I have genuinely had e-mails form pretty much every company I'm signed up to for email newsletters etc (mainly retail companies) giving the option to opt out of any mother's day related posts/emails so I think there is a trend towards acknowledging it is not always a happy day for everyone or is a mixture of emotions.
As for the handwriting - I'd say both are neat for their ages and I am not at all surprised that Charlotte's is neater than George's - girls do tend to have neater handwriting than boys especially at a young age - hence why
I've just marked all the homework from the girls in my class of 6 year olds first - now for the deciphering![/QUOTE]
Ah yes I've had to do my fair share of deciphering written work over the years. I have had to remind myself more than once that "of" is not spelled like "ov" and that "wuz" is not the correct spelling for "was."
I agree that this year has been especially difficult for nearly every nation on Earth and that any holiday that honors or remembers family members will be very difficult for some who unexpectedly had to say goodbye to loved ones.
