It’s rare to find unseen photos of the late Princess Diana, but today, Prince William shared one from his own collection.

Taking to Instagram today, on the United Kingdom’s Mother’s Day, the heir to the British throne honored his own mom with a never-before-seen image from his childhood. In the old photo, the two of them were captured in a field of flowers, with a young Diana sitting cross-legged as her toddler-aged son stood captivated by the nature around him.

The princess had on one of her signature layered looks—a sweater, here pink, over a white button-down shirt and a pair of classic blue jeans. She wore a pendant necklace and a delicate watch, and her hair was brushed up in a feathery, voluminous bob. It was the mid-1980s, after all.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been booked and busy this week. Between attending the annual Commonwealth Observation Service at Westminster Abbey, stopping by Borough Market to “celebrate some of the people and producers at the heart of London’s thriving food [and] drink community,” and joining the Royal National Lifeboat (RNLI) on the Thames River, they have rarely had a moment to slow down. But today, William took a pause to reflect.

“Remembering my mother, today and every day,” he shared, accompanying the photo with a sweet remark. It has been nearly three decades since the princess’ tragic death. “Thinking of all those who are remembering someone they love today. Happy Mother’s Day. W.”
