The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are helping keep Princess Diana's memory alive, even from their new home state of California.

Yesterday, the royal couple volunteered with the Preschool Learning Centre in Los Angeles, spending the morning working in the organisation's garden and replanting flowers and healthy foods with the children—an annual activity that the school does every year.

August 31st also marked the 23rd anniversary of the passing of Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana, so to honour her, Harry and Meghan planted forget-me-nots, the late princess's favourite flower, in the garden.

The duke and duchess also planted a mix of petunias, California wildflowers, tomatoes, squash, sweet peas, and more. After a morning of gardening with the kids (who were also singing and dancing while getting their hands dirty), the couple read the students a few books about gardening, vegetables, and planting, including the children's classic Jack and the Beanstalk.

The Preschool Learning Centre is part of the Assistance League of Los Angeles, an organisation that works to improve the lives of impoverished children in the community via philanthropy, dedicated service, and compassionate programming.

With the Preschool Learning Centre, the Assistance League works to provide high-quality child care to students between the ages of three and five who come from lower-income families in the surrounding community.
