Nearly 26 years after her late grandmother, Princess Diana, passed away, her presence is still strongly felt, her close friend Julia Samuel said on the podcast "How to Fail" (according to the Mirror). Although Diana never got to meet her grandchildren George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet, the tradition Diana started, including today on George's birthday, is still followed on their birthdays.

"We do to George what [Princess Diana] did to us. It's giving him an impossible toy that is really fussy and takes a long time to make," Samuel says. 'William has to spend days putting it together. And when you put all the machines together, they make a rasping noise and the lights flash."

And while poor William struggles for days to assemble the intricate toys, the rest of the family takes great pleasure in watching William squirm - especially "cheeky" George, she said. Especially "cheeky" George, she said.

Samuel, the future king's godfather, said George was "wonderful," adding that Princess Diana would have adored him: "He was funny, feisty, cheeky and God, she [Diana] would have loved him so much. Diana would have loved him so much."

While this Diana tradition continues, George's life is a world away from William, who turned 10 in June 1992. At that time, William was already boarding at Radgrove School. (George, Charlotte, and Lewis were full-time students at Lambrook School, returning home each evening.) Also, in contrast to the healthy marriage of George's parents, the marriage of then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana was falling apart and they were to separate at the end of that year.

"At the same age, William was very sensitive, and being royalty was becoming more and more of a burden," Ingrid Sward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, told the Mirror. "He would get restless when he saw the cameras. He became introverted, always keeping his head down. He was a boarder at Radgrove School and was beginning to make friends, but when he went out he became moody and difficult."

George was helped not only by his parents but also by other members of the royal family, especially Charlotte. [William and Kate are aware that George needs to develop a philanthropic side, and there are many homeless people on the streets of Windsor Town. 'No matter how hard his parents try, there is nothing normal about being a royal prince. But as William once said, 'Now it's just a matter of keeping a safe and stable environment around him and showing him as much love as I can. '
