Earl Spencer Visits Princess Diana's Grave at Althorp

On Christmas Eve, Charles Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana, shared a poignant tribute to his late sister by posting a photo of her grave at Althorp House on social media, calling it his 'favorite bench' for quiet reflection. Diana is buried on an island in Oval Lake, a location chosen for its remoteness to protect her privacy even in death. Spencer, who manages the historic estate, revealed he visits her grave 'pretty much every day' and emphasized the importance of the site for her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, allowing them private access to their mother's resting place. He has described the location as a 'buffer against the interventions of the insane and ghoulish.' The estate, which spans over 13,000 acres, is open to tourists during the summer but remains closed in winter. Spencer's ongoing remembrance of Diana showcases the enduring impact of her legacy, even 27 years after her tragic passing.
