Autumn Ying's stunning paintings show Princess Diana with Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, as well as meeting her grandchildren.

Tragically for Prince William and Prince Harry, their mother Princess Diana passed away when they were aged just 12 and 15-years-old.

The Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex have gone on to get married and have children without their beloved mum by their sides

However, in new paintings by the super talented Autumn Ying, she has reimagined what royal life would be like for the family if Diana was still alive.

The glorious art depicts Diana reunited with William and Harry, as well as bonding with their wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.

In a particularly touching painting, Diana joins Meghan's mum Doria in Harry and Meghan's baby joy as they look on at the happy couple holding Archie.

Diana – who never got to meet her grandchildren – can be seen at Christmas dinner in one of the paintings alongside Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Archie Harrison.

Autumn even recreated a black and white portrait of Diana, William and Harry from their childhoods, painting the three of them posing in front of the older picture in the same way.

One of Autumn's most recent pieces came following the death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.

The painting shows Philip and Diana walking arm in arm with the caption: "Dearest Pa. And so we meet again."
