Earl Spencer has posted a new photo of his sister Princess Diana’s final resting place at his family estate, Althorp. Sharing on Instagram on Monday, the podcast host and author shared a pair of mystical images, including a snapshot of Althorp’s ornamental Oval Lake.
The expansive water body, where Diana is buried on an island, appeared almost otherworldly surrounded by swirling morning mist.
In another image, Charles, aged 60, showcased his property’s vast estate dotted with towering trees and a wooden fence, with the morning sun peering through a thick layer of mist in the background.
In his caption, Prince Harry and Prince William’s uncle penned: “Misty start to the day, at @althorphouse.”
Fans and friends were quick to share their thoughts in the comments section. One follower shared: “Looks Arthurian!! Beautiful imagery absolutely beautiful,” while a second noted: “Otherworldly”, and a third chimed in: “Such a lovely place of peace and tranquility, moments like these are definitely good for the soul.”
Sharing a glimpse inside its history, the father-of-seven previously told his Instagram followers: “This temple, now dedicated to my late sister’s memory, was originally commissioned by our ancestor George John Spencer. He was in charge of the Royal Navy in the early part of the Napoleonic Wars.
“In 1798 initial reports from Egypt said the British fleet had been destroyed in a crucial battle by the French. George John fainted with shock.
“When the true version of the Battle of the Nile followed, outlining what was an astonishing victory by Nelson over the French, George John had this structure built – in thanks to God. It overlooks the Round Oval lake at Althorp and has become the place where kind visitors like to leave flowers in memory of Diana.”
