On February 5, 2025, Prince William, the Prince of Wales, visited Child Bereavement UK's center in Widnes, England, PEOPLE reported. This charity connects deeply with his late mother, Princess Diana. Since 2009, he has succeeded her as the organization's patron. During his hour-long visit, he engaged with families receiving support, volunteers, and local staff.

William met with children creating salt jars, highlighting how the charity aids those coping with loss. Additionally, he listened to young people's experiences, emphasizing the charity's positive impact on their lives.

When Princess Diana passed away in 1997, Prince William was just 15 years old. Julia Samuel, the charity’s founding patron and a close friend of Diana, continues to share ties with the royal family today. She notably serves as one of Prince George’s godparents, maintaining this enduring link.

In a past statement, she noted William's commitment to raising awareness about child bereavement — a cause often difficult to discuss. She commended him for approaching the topic with authenticity and empathy.

During their prior visit to the charity in London in 2017, Julia Samuel praised William and his wife, Kate, for their compassionate demeanor. They have a unique ability to ease the tension of grieving individuals. When they enter a room, the initial anxiety quickly dissipates, leading to moments of shared humanity and warmth.

Their ability to connect without pretenses has left a lasting impression on those attending events. This vulnerability allows parents and children to feel comforted in an often daunting environment.

In 2015, while attending the charity's 21st gala, Prince William expressed how vital it is for him to continue Diana's legacy. He acknowledged that grief represents an overwhelming challenge for families, particularly for children. William articulated a deep understanding of the raw emotional terrain as he reflected on his mother's beliefs.

He noted, "Grief is the most painful experience that any child or parent can endure." His heartfelt dedication to the charity echoes this understanding and serves as an extension of his mother’s compassionate vision.

When Child Bereavement UK celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2019, Prince William emphasized their crucial role in supporting families through sorrow. He described how the charity's empathy helps guide individuals along the uncertain path of grief. "This is a path no one chooses. It has no map. And no end," he highlighted, recognizing the importance of skilled support during intense emotional turmoil.

Moreover, he complimented the organization for lighting the way through darkness. Their efforts help families rediscover hope and joy in the aftermath of loss.

Prince William's visit took place during a busy period for both him and Catherine, Princess of Wales. Catherine recently learned she is in remission from cancer. On February 4, she visited the National Portrait Gallery with a group of enthusiastic schoolchildren to further promote her early years initiative.
