Adorably Charlotte stuck pictures of butterflies, flowers and dancing mouse Angelina Ballerina to her card.
Meanwhile two-year-old Louis simply wrote his name accompanied by a heart.
George also drew a picture for the nan he won't get to meet - a crayon drawing with trees, mountains and flowers.
The heartbreaking cards were released on Kate Middleton and Prince William's social feed today.
They said in a message accompanying the pictures: "This year Mother’s Day will be different once again.
"Many of us will be apart from our loved ones, but looking forward to a time in the not too distant future when we can give our mother a hug again.
"But for those experiencing bereavement, today may be particularly challenging.
"Each year on Mother’s Day, George, Charlotte and Louis make cards remembering their Granny, Diana, for William.
Dear Granny Diana. I am thinking of you on Mother's Day. I love you very much. Papa is missing you.
Princess Charlotte
"Whatever your circumstances, we are thinking of you this Mother’s Day."
The cards featured on Kensington Palace's Instagram page and had already generated 22k likes.
People were quick to comment on how lovely the gesture was.
"This is a beautiful way to honour Diana," said one woman.
"What a lovely gesture," added another.
Princess Diana - Diana Frances Spencer - died on August 31, 1997, after suffering fatal injuries in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris.

The tunnel is located in the heart of the French capital next to the River Seine.
Her companion Dodi Fayed and driver and security guard Henri Paul were also killed in the crash.
Diana's bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones survived with horrific injuries.
In the days after her death, a sea of flowers and tributes were left outside the gates of Kensington Palace in an enormous outpouring of public grief.
Diana's funeral was held on September 6, 1997, at Westminster Abbey and was shown on British television, attracting an audience of 32.1million viewers.
An inquest held in London concluded in 2008 that the Princess had been unlawfully killed, blaming the crash on grossly negligent driving by Paul and the pursuing paparazzi.
