Diana Spencer died in a tragic car accident on August 31, 1997. Today, his body rests in his childhood home on an inaccessible island in central England.
Charged with mystery and spirituality, the magnificent Althorp mansion and then the small private island where the late Princess Diana rests appear in the morning mist. This is what Lady Dee’s Charles Spencer Jr. posted on Instagram this Monday, November 28, shows. Titled “A beautiful misty morning today”. The Princess of Wales, who died in a tragic car crash under the Bridge of Alma in Paris, lived in the family residence from the age of 14 until 29 July 1981, when she married Prince Charles. It was here that he was buried, a few days after his funeral on September 6, 1997.
emotional comments
Internet users were moved by these photos. Some wax lyrical. “This mist…whispering wind!” One person wrote: “Luxury. You are so lucky to be surrounded by such beauty and history. I wish your sister was alive to appreciate this as a great person” Another excited. “Beautiful, quiet and so atmospheric.”
However, some were not satisfied with the condition of the princess of hearts, lamenting the loneliness of the place. “I can’t believe that the most famous woman in the world, the most beautiful woman is here alone,” said one of Charles Spencer’s followers. The tombstone of the mother of Princes William and Harry stands in the middle of the central isle, inaccessible to the public.
Owned by the Spencer family for several generations, Althorp Estate dates back five centuries and spans a massive 5,300 hectares of land, almost the size of Manhattan Island (5,900 hectares). The main building consists of no less than 90 rooms, which display an important collection of furniture and works of art.
Cemetery
In the park you can not only see deer and other wild animals if you get up at dawn, but also a cathedral, now dedicated to the memory of the former wife of King Charles III. Which, unlike a tombstone, is sometimes open to visits by ordinary mortals. This tomb was commissioned by his ancestor George John Spencer, who was “in charge of the Royal Navy at the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars”. It will be necessary to wait until the summer to walk in Althorp Gardens and come to meditate in front of Lady Diana’s Cathedral.
