The final resting place of Prince Diana is due to undergo an extensive refurbishments, almost two decades after she died in a car accident in Paris.
The late mother of Prince William and Prince Harry was laid to rest on September 6, 1997 on an island at the centre of the Althorp Estate, a 13,000-acre estate in Northampton owned by the Spencer family and now Princess’ brother, Charles Spencer will oversee the revamp.
The island in the estate’s Round Oval Lake is the site where the Princess was buried and there are reports that the trees, along with a memorial temple dedicated to the late Princess, have become overgrown and unkempt, reports the UK’s HELLO!
It is believed the plan is to fix up the state of the site – news that will no doubt please those who were close to the royal.
Next year in August will mark 20 years since Diana died but her charitable legacy lives on in her two boys and just this week Prince Harry, 31, gave an intimate interview to PEOPLE where he paid tribute to his mother.
“All I want to do is make my mother incredibly proud,” Harry, who was just 12 when his mother died, told People magazine. “That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.”
“When she died, there was a gaping hole, not just for us but also for a huge amount of people across the world. If I can try and fill a very small part of that, then job done. I will have to, in a good way, spend the rest of my life trying to fill that void as much as possible. And so will William.”
