1. Princess Diana's letters confirmed what we already knew
This year began with a bit of a blast from the past: a revelation from Princess Diana's letters, written when Prince Harry was just a boy. The letters—sent to a former Buckingham Palace steward—revealed that Prince Harry was "constantly in trouble at school," which is not remotely surprising.

A 7-year-old Asian Elephant named Donna didn't just meet the Queen this year. She got the ~royal treatment~ when she was hand-fed a banana by Her Majesty. The Queen happened to be opening a new centre for elephant care at Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire, near London, when she made Donna's acquaintance. Wow, Donna's basically a princess now.

In a podcast interview, Prince Harry spoke candidly about seeking counselling after being near "complete breakdown" while living with the grief of losing his mum, Princess Diana.
"My way of dealing with it was sticking my head in the sand, refusing to ever think about my mum, because why would that help?" he said.

"Some of the best people or easiest people to speak to is a shrink or whoever — the Americans call them shrinks —someone you have never met before," said the prince. "You sit down on the sofa and say 'listen, I don't actually need your advice. Can you just listen'. And you just let it all rip."
5. Prince William FaceTimed Lady Gaga
It's not every day that Pop Royalty teams up with British Royalty. But, that's what happened back in April! As part of the royals' Heads Together campaign to end mental health stigma, Prince William FaceTimed Lady Gaga to encourage people to speak more openly about mental health. William and Gaga talked about the importance of opening up about mental health; a cause they've both been heavily involved in this year.
"It's OK to have this conversation. It's really important to have this conversation," said Prince William. "You won't be judged. It's so important to break open that fear and that taboo which is only gonna lead to more problems down the line."
6. The princes opened up about losing their mum
The royal family has a reputation for being fiercely private about personal matters. But, this year, Prince Harry and Prince William sat around a table with the Duchess of Cambridge and talked about the impact of Princess Diana's death on their mental health. And, this chat happened to be broadcast via Facebook Live as part of their Heads Together campaign.
"We've never really talked about losing a mum at such a young age," Harry says to William in the film. "When you speak to other people's families, you think, wow I don't want them to have to go through the same thing."
7. Princess Charlotte celebrated her 2nd birthday🎈
When Kensington Palace releases a new photo of the royal kiddies, the nations' hearts basically explode. To mark Princess Charlotte's 2nd birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released a truly adorable photo of their daughter. SUPER CUTE.

When your great-granny turns 91, there's no end to the celebrations. And, 3-year-old Prince George looked positively tired of all the Queen's birthday celebrations this summer.
As the royals congregated for the Trooping the Colour, the annual Queen's Birthday Parade, in June, little George was demonstrably less enthused than his mum, dad, and sister. Oh dear.

2017 was also a year of reflection for the princes. In a documentary marking 20 years since Princess Diana's death, William and Harry revealed how much fun their mum was.
