Princess Diana was buried on the private island in the middle of Oval Lake, which forms part of Althorp Estate, after her death at the age of 36 Opened in July 1998, the memorial at the 500-year-old ancestral estate is visited by approximately 150,000 people a year. Charles reflected: 'We all agreed that, with its beauty and tranquility, this was the place for Diana to be.'
Unlike a church, Earl Spencer said the water of the Oval Lake would 'act as a buffer against the interventions of the insane and ghoulish with the thick mud presenting a further line of defence'. In 2017, Earl Spencer revealed that several members of the public have made attempts to access Diana's grave.
On his 60th birthday on May 20, Charles revealed that he became tearful after a friend gifted him an 'astonishingly beautiful' handmade canoe.
