In more recent news, Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, spoke publicly after a fire broke out at one of the Althorp estate’s farmhouses.

Posting on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Charles wrote: “Stunned to learn that one of the @AlthorpHouse’s farmhouses – fortunately, unoccupied at the time – was apparently burnt down by vandals last night.

“With thanks to @northantsfire for doing their very best. So very sad that anyone would think this is a fun thing to do.”

On Wednesday, May 28, he also shared an image of the blaze, adding: “Luckily unoccupied at the time – but still deeply disturbing that one of your farmhouses was torched by vandals last night.”

Where is Princess Diana buried?

Diana is buried on an island located in the middle of Oval Lake, which sits within the grounds of Althorp Park.

Following her funeral, Charles Spencer released a statement explaining the decision to lay her to rest at the estate: “It has been decided to bury Diana, Princess of Wales, in the grounds of Althorp Park, where her grave can be properly looked after by her family and visited in privacy by her sons.”

Speaking previously to the BBC, Charles expressed his concern about the intensity of public emotion at the time of her death: “There was such a whipped up feeling of emotion everywhere that I was very worried about where we could safely bury her.”

Can the public visit Diana’s grave?

While the island itself is not open to visitors, the public can view the gravesite from a distance. There’s also a nearby memorial where people are welcome to leave flowers.
