Nearly three decades after Princess Diana's death at 36, her memory remains a meaningful part of daily life for Prince Harry and his family.
The Duke of Sussex, 41, attended Scotty's Summer Festival at Maxstoke Castle in Warwickshire, England, on Saturday, July 11, where he shared how he, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, honor his late mother on both her birthday and the anniversary of her death.
During a Q&A session at the 200-plus-person event, which marked Prince Harry's final public appearance of his U.K. visit, he was asked by a teenager if he does anything special to commemorate the anniversary of his mother's death on August 31 or her birthday on July 1. Harry's response was a "sweet" one.
"Yes, we do lemon drizzle cake," Harry told the 16-year-old, per People. The teen also experienced the loss of a parent, after his father, Reverend John Hill, a member of the Royal Navy, died in 2010.

Although Prince Harry stepped back from his royal duties after relocating to California with Markle, 44, in 2020, the Duke of Sussex continues his charitable work as a Global Ambassador for Scotty's Little Soldiers, a British nonprofit that supports bereaved military children and young people.
Prince Harry said that baking a lemon drizzle cake in honor of his late mother each year is a meaningful tradition for his family. Princess Diana died in 1997 after suffering injuries in a car crash in Paris when Harry was just 12 years old.

"I think traditions are really, really important," he explained, adding, "Especially when they're sweet."
Harry's comments come amid a U.K. reunion for him and his family, with Markle and their two children making their first visit in four years to see their grandfather, King Charles, and Queen Camilla this week.
The King, 77, and the Queen, 78, hosted the Sussex family at Highgrove House, King Charles' private country home in Gloucestershire, on the afternoon of July 10.
While the visit made headlines, both the Sussexes and the royal family have chosen not to release photos from the gathering, and are keeping details of the meeting private.
