Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Plant Forget-Me-Nots at a Preschool in Honor of Princess Diana

From Town & Country

Yesterday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent the 23rd anniversary of Princess Diana's tragic death planting her favorite flower at a local L.A. preschool in her memory.

Both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex got their hands dirty Monday adding Forget-Me-Not seeds to the garden at the Preschool Learning Center, a school dedicated to providing high-quality childcare to preschool-aged children from low income families. It's an institution the Sussexes are familiar with, as they've volunteered there before, and it's just a few blocks from Meghan's alma mater, Immaculate Heart High School.

In addition to the Forget-Me-Nots, Meghan and Harry helped the kids replant their garden for fall with a mix of flowers and vegetables, such as petunias, California wildflowers, tomatoes, squash, sweet pea. They also read the students books about gardening including a story about Jack and the Beanstalk.

The Assistance League of Los Angeles has shared a few photos from the visit on Instagram today, which show the royal couple all masked up and helping kids to water the flowers.

"The children of our Preschool Learning Center got a wonderful surprise when The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited yesterday! ❤️" reads the caption on the post.

"In addition to helping the children replant the Preschool Learning Center's garden, they spent time with them, sharing their appreciation for nature and helping to instill the importance of healthy eating. We truly appreciate their time and care for our students. 🌱"

This isn't the first time Harry and Meghan have used flowers to honor the late Princess of Wales. Forget-Me-Nots were included in Meghan's bouquet at the royal wedding, and also featured in one of the first photos the couple shared of baby Archie.
