Charles Spencer has shared a rare photo of Princess Diana’s resting place just days before his nephew, Prince Harry, moves back to the UK. Earl Spencer took to his official Instagram account to share a new, unseen photograph of the Oval Lake at Althorp House.
The late Princess of Wales was laid to rest in 1997 on a small island in the ornamental lake known as The Round Oval, which is located within Althorp Park’s gardens. Leading to the Oval is a path consisting of thirty-six oak trees, marking each year of her life. Charles’s new, black and white photograph shows the Round Oval and the temple, which now serves as a memorial for Diana, across it.

According to the earl, the picture was taken “130 years ago”.
Diana’s brother is bracing for the release of his bombshell new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which is set to be released next month.
It came just weeks after he met with Harry during his five-day trip to the UK in July.
The Duke of Sussex even took his family to his mother’s grave.
Originally, Prince William and Prince Harry’s mother was meant to be buried in the Spencer family vault; however, the plan was rejected due to safety concerns.
Princess Diana’s funeral took place on September 6 1997 in a ceremony attended by 2,000 people and watched by another 2.5 billion worldwide.
The official ceremony was held at Westminster Abbey in London and finished at the resting place in Althorp.
In his memoir, Spare, Prince Harry wrote that there was “absolutely no way” he would have let William walk behind their mother’s coffin alone.
He said: “There’s absolutely no way that I would let him do that by himself. And there’s absolutely no way that he would let me do that by myself. It was if it was role reversal.”
