Prince Louis' sweet £8,000 gift from Prince Harry in honour of Diana
ok.co.ukThe Duke of Sussex has spoken very fondly of his memories of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales several times over the years.
And it seems he used one of his most treasured memories as the inspiration for a christening gift for Prince Louis in 2018. It emerged that Prince Harry wanted to remember Diana's love of collecting first editions of classic books and started to do the same for his two nephews and niece.
And it is clear the doting uncle spared no expense as he reportedly dished out £8,000 on an original copy of A.A Milne's Winnie the Pooh from 1926.
A friend revealed: "One of Harry's happiest childhood memories was being read a bedtime story by his mother. "She loved all the old classics and Harry had the brilliant idea of starting a little library of first editions for Louis, Charlotte and George to enjoy as they get older. "He originally wanted to get Lewis Carroll’s Through The Looking Glass, which was on sale for £24,000, but decided Winnie-The-Pooh would be more suitable for a first tome.
