Charles Spencer Visits the Althorp Home Memorial to His Late Sister Princess Diana

For the previous few weeks, Charles Spencer, the ninth Earl Spencer, has been posting pictures on social media displaying his ancestral property, Althorp Home, because the seasons change. On Tuesday, he shared a picture displaying a latest go to to the property’s memorial honoring his late sister, Princess Diana.

After her dying in 1997, Diana was buried on a small island contained in the Oval, a lake on the grounds of her household house, about 250 yards away from the principle home. An present Doric temple on the grounds was changed into a memorial for the late princess, and it options her silhouette in marble alongside two quotations and a metallic bench. Thirty-six oak bushes had been planted alongside the lake, one for annually of her life. In 2017, Prince William, Princess Kate, and Prince Harry joined the Spencer household at Althorp for a ceremony to rededicate the gravesite after an in depth renovation. 

In his January memoir Spare, Harry stated he took spouse Meghan Markle for her first go to to the island, which may solely be accessed by rowboat, throughout a 2022 journey to the UK. “Uncle Charles got here all the way down to the water’s edge, gave us just a little shove. We waved to him, and to my two aunts. Bye. See you in a bit,” he wrote of the journey. “Gliding throughout the pond, I gazed round at Althorp’s rolling fields and historical bushes, the 1000’s of inexperienced acres the place my mom grew up, and the place, although issues weren’t good, she’d recognized some peace.”

On Thanksgiving, Spencer shared an image of a latest go to to Malibu with the caption, “Blissful Thanksgiving to all People – from Manhattan to Malibu (each of which I’ve visited previously few weeks)” and a turkey emoji. No phrase on if he visited Harry and Meghan, who dwell an hour’s drive north in Montecito, a small Santa Barbara enclave.
