Breaking News: Charles Spencer shares beautiful video of Princess Diana’s final resting place…see more

The Earl captioned the video: “Beautiful birdsong down by the Round Oval Lake at Althorp House just now.” Princess Diana was not buried in the family vault in the nearby village of Great Brington, as was the original plan.

20 generations of Spencers over five hundred years had been buried in Spencer Chapel, but her brother decided in the interests of security that she be buried on the island.

In 1998, he said the island would “act as a buffer against the interventions of the insane and ghoulish, the thick mud presenting a further line of defence.

We all agreed that, with its beauty and tranquility, this was the place for Diana to be.” While the commital was private, the Princess also had a public funeral at Westminster Abbey.

Prince Harry wrote about taking his wife, Meghan, to his mother’s final resting place in his memoir, Spare. He wrote: “I led Meg up the path, around a hedge, through the labyrinth.

There it was, looming: the grayish white oval stone. No visit to this place was ever easy, but this one… Twenty-fifth anniversary. And Meg’s first time. At long last I was bringing the girl of my dreams home to meet mum.
