Visiting Princess Diana’s Grave at Althorp.

- Today I visit the Althorp Estate in Northamptonshire, ancestral home of the Spencer family, and final resting place of Diana, Princess of Wales. I also visit the nearby church that houses the Spencer family vault where centuries of Diana’s ancestors are interred.
Many thanks to John D. Fielding for kind permission to use his excellent aerial shot of Princess Diana’s island at 07.47.
What a beautiful place fit for the most beautiful Queen, Diana.❤
Having been at the actual funeral myself in 1997 in London, I saw her coffin go passed me, just about 2 yards away, with the 3 Princes (Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry) and her little brother Earl Spencer, it was very emotional as I was standing there for well over 11 hours in the cold with people around the world. She was the Queen of Hearts for ever. May you rest in peace, and hopefully see you in the after world
Thank you so much for this. I would have never seen it otherwise. I still have tears for Princess Diana.
I swear the video transported me to a place where I could even feel the warm breeze and the sun gently touching my face.
God bless your heart princess Diana may God bless your children
Althorp is so Beautiful, Loved seeing the grounds and the beautiful Peacock! Diana is and was BLESSED!
I find it so sad that she was so often lonely in life and is more so in death. I think her wishes should have been honoured and she would be buried amongst her family
What a gloriously beautiful day to be able to go pay your respects to our Princess.
A wonderful place for a wonderful Princess
So lovely. I may never get to visit, but your video was perfect, and I especially appreciated the NO TALKING - quite fitting actually. Very, very nice.
Thank you so much, very much appreciated.
Brought tears to my eyes, and song to my heart, she is so profoundly missed , no one can fill her shoes. Thank you for such a beautiful video. I felt like your silence speaks volumes. Thank you again❤
Thank you, appreciate your comments.
Beautiful lady, inside out. Rest in peace angel Diane Spencer.
Beautiful tribute. Thanks for posting. I like the quiet footsteps, and the lack of music and commentary. It’s appropriate to reflect the dignity of her life in such a way. Thanks for being respectful.
Thank you very much!
What a beautifully made, professional and respectful film. Lovely and relaxing to watch.
Thank you very much!
Princess Diana ..... what a beautiful soul that we have lost. The entire world loved her and now misses her.💞
This was so respectfully done. Thank you for taking the time to share your visit and not talking over everything…….I felt I was there walking beside you the whole time.
Your comment made my day, thank you.
Thank you for not using any background music.
Only then we can properly assimilate the splendour of this place and at the same time mourn Diana's premature departure from this world.
All the best. ❤
The true princess of the United Kingdom who should have been a queen for this nation very sadly missed will never be replaced by anyone and is a very hard memory of a princess who the nation loved and always will, from the nation of Great Britain to the Spencer’s our deepest condolences for a sad loss of a true real princess of this country
My eyes teared up. This place is as beautiful and serene as Diana herself!
This was lovely to watch. I particularly enjoyed hearing the birds chirping & the gravel crunching underfoot as if I were walking these paths myself. Diana will be forever in our hearts & memories as the beautiful, gentle and kind People's Princess. 🙏 Thank you for sharing your visit. (Pat-Canada🍁)
Thank you so much
I'll never be able to visit this but thank you for your tour and your explanations as you went through Diana's Family Residence and Burial plots. I would absolutely love to visit, and to see the Great Great Great Grandfather's burial plot of George Washington. I had a lot of emotions when I saw Diana's clothes and Wedding dress. We were all so excited to see the wedding. She is three years younger than myself. I used to buy clothing which resembled her fashion choices. She was on every magazine cover and watched for years. I couldn't believe it when she was proclaimed dead. It was like a knife through the heart. I'm American, but was so sad about the Divorce situation.
Aw, thank you.
Absolutely beautiful may she rest peacefully
Halo aku dari Indonesia, saat aku melihat videomu ini, aku langsung meneteskan airmataku, jadi mengingat kembali putri cantik Diana, aku sangat menyukainya, dia wanita yang baik, disukai banyak orang, sejak aku nonton the crown, aku langsung terkagum pada mendiang Putri cantik Diana, dan aku bisa melihat tempat peristirahatan putri Diana yang tentram, sejuk,tenang dan asri dengan pepohonan, rumah keluarga Diana juga sangat bagus dan luas, jadi ingin melihat langsung ❤.
Gorgeous and beautiful. You will always remain in our hearts. Fare thee well ❤
I absolutely loved this, sadly I will never get back to England again, but I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the grounds, the house and Diana’s final resting place, the church was magnificent and somewhat beautiful with its iron brick porch, plus the English countryside and weather was the highlight for me, thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for your lovely comments too!
I,m Maltese and I adored Princess Diana I think she was the most awesome person I ever seen in a long time and she's still is the people Princess and the walk it was awesome I never visited this place it's beautiful and very peaceful I,m sure princess Diana she's still roaming the place with her elegance .Rest in peace sweet princess Diana God bless you in Heaven 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹
One nd only princess who lives in our hearts❤we loved her a lot❤
From Pakistan
God Bless Diana always she was a wonderful woman R ip Dians❤❤❤❤
I love the place. It is so serene. Many of us love Diana so it is good that they open the place so we were able to visit her grave.
Visited Althorp in 2003, 20 years ago and still fresh in my mind. What an experience meeting Earl Charles Spencer in the gift shop and him recognising me as a South African. Beautiful memories. ❤
Thank you. The only thing I may suggest is that you keep the notes a little longer as I could not read it fast enough so I had to replay several times. You have good information worth reading.
Thank you, and 8 will certainly take that on board.
It's said that Diana wished to return to Althorpe, if only temporarily, shortly after her divorce. This place has such a peaceful feel to it...can't help but think it would have done her good to have spent some time there to regroup. Stories at the time indicated Diana's brother didn't want Diana to return at that time & I've often wondered why not?
I believe it’s because of all the security measures that would have to be implemented (particularly for when William and Harry were there), in the end Diana’s brother felt it would be too disruptive for his own children’s lives. Sad though, and you can’t help but wonder if he regretted his decision.
What a lovely video. Thank you for making it about the subject (no commentary, no selfies, and best of all no music). This was really peaceful and thoughtful to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The resting place of a beautiful soul is also beautiful, love her loads. A princess like no other.
This was really lovely. I'm an American from Missouri, huge Anglophile. Then-Lady Di married her Prince the summer when I was 9 years old. I got up at 0300 to watch the festivities live till they boarded Brittania for the honeymoon. Like so many others, I followed her life with great interest; still recall where I was when I heard the news she died (living in Alexandria, Virginia). I'll likely never have the wherewithal to visit Althorp and so appreciate your posting this; visiting the local village was a thoughtful touch.
Thank you!
Very beautiful. Thank you for taking us along. I feel sad that Diana is alone out there, even if it is beautiful. It’s not what she wanted and I feel they should move her to be with her family.
The Althorpe estate is beautiful.A fitted burial place for very beautiful Lady Diana .May her soul rest in eternal peace Aameen
Feeling conflicted about Diana’s resting place. Not only alone from her family, but on an island in a lake of her ancestral home that was not a happy place. But the lake and surrounds are stunning, and makes the walk to be at the lake about her memory. It also makes the family some money from entry fees I understand. The Church where the family crypt is, is gorgeous. But if pilgrims, the curious, the fans of Diana were to visit to it for her tomb especially in the early days, it would be disastrous for the fabric of the ancient building. So, there’s my confliction. By having Diana out of actual reach, on an island, an idyll to visit, was for the best. I feel sad she is isolated, but it is a gorgeous & stunning memorial to her, & place to rest. Thank you for this vid, it was nicely filmed especially the footage of the buildings, the trees and the island (and dock and boat)xx
Thank you, and for your very thoughtful comments too.
I am so grateful for your video and detail Since HRH passing it has always been difficult for me to think on! I am from UK living in US and cannot afford to go home, the video portrayed not only her beauty and grace during her life but that of the English Countryside and Estates as well. She deserved nothing less.
I think it's awful. I think her life was very lonely and now at this awful, watery burial place, her body is still all alone. Plus, they didn't honor her wishes. She wanted to rest eternally with her family.
💔 After all these years, it still stings like it was yesterday. My 17 year old heart broke that morning in a way it will never fully recover from. Thank you for sharing your experience with the world.
Qué bonito conocer el lugar donde Ladi Di nació y creció, donde su hermano no le dejó regresar cuando ella se lo pidió, da tristeza porq ella ya no está. Pero muy bonita la ciudad de donde ella era. Diana nunca se hubiera ido de ahí. Gracias por compartir esos recuerdos. Muy bonito el lugar de donde era ella. ❤
Thank you for taking us there. It is beautiful . However it is a little sad knowing she is alone on that island when she requested to be interred in the Spencer tomb.
Thank you for sharing your video. What a beautiful resting place of the Spencer family. Lady Diana was the real queen👸in the hearts of many who loves her.❤
From Philippines🇵🇭
Thanks so much for this video and for being so respectful of Diana's memory. Her tragic and sudden passing was heartbreaking and as a young mother at the time I especially grieved for her sons. Hopefully she's buried with her beloved father and ancestors in the church because that was her wish.
Aw thank you for your very kind words.
She was buried at the spencer family church nearby
Such a beautiful place and so peaceful. I was very sad to hear she was gone. She was the light of the royal family with her smile. Rest in peace Diana, will see you in Heaven.
Thank you for filming this, I was unaware of the details of Althorpe.
I just completed watching the series The Crown. I am simply awed, blown away. Love the princess. Though far away from London, thanking God for the technology so I can see the resting place of the lovely lady.❤
A beautiful place for a beautiful princess.❤
Thank you i loved Princess Diana 😢
Thank you for such an amazing look into the life of the most wonderful women. I never met Princess Diana. However, I still miss her. The world is much darker without her in it. R.I.P. to the queen of my heart.
Such a beautiful and serene place beautiful place thankyou for showing us through this amazing journey 🙏🥰🌺🌹🌺
Thank you so much.
Grazie infinite del video.🙏 Adoro la Principessa Diana, ho sofferto per la sua morte ingiusta. Riposa in pace Regina nel Cuore della gente ❤❤❤
Such a great lady! She gave her life to loving and caring about others.
Thank you for sharing this precious video. I will one day visit Our Loved Princess Dian' resting place. From Canada with love and respect 🙏
Your tour of the Althorp estate was very tastefully done. Thank you for not speaking throughout, it made for a much more pleasant experience. Such a beautiful place, I hope to visit someday. 🙏❤👑
Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this peaceful walk. The House, grounds and church seem so beautiful and tranquil.
That was an absolutely Beautiful walk, thank you so much for taking us along. ❤
Thank you, and you’re very welcome.
Congratulations for making a beautiful video 🙏😃👍
I certainly won't have the opportunity to visit Diana's tomb, but watching your video I feel like I saw it through your eyes.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🌹
Thank you very much!
This is #1 on my bucket list. Diana has always been my hero. My reason for going into nursing. I was devastated when she died and always felt the need to go pay my respects in person. I am paralyzed so it's not so easy but someday it will happen.
Thank you so much for the beautiful tour. I'll never get to see Althorp or Diana's resting place myself but your video made me feel like I was there.
Lovely comment, thank you.
Really enjoyed this. Just walking with no talking. It was like being there. Thank you for posting this video. A lot of us here in America just loved Diana. The People's Princess for sure!
You are so welcome
Beautiful grounds & lovely little church. May Diana rest in God’s eternal peace.
Thank you for sharing this tour of Princess Diana's resting place. Her family the Spencer's Estates and church. I wish I could come once in my life to see this beautiful place from July to August. She will always in my Heart be
Beautiful Princess Diana.
🙏❤️🙏
I sway between the theory that the island is a distraction to give the family privacy, and that she is indeed interred in the crypt alongside her beloved father and the rest of her ancestors. Either way its a beautifully peaceful place . 🙏💙
I do know what you mean!
Marvelous! I live ''across the pond'', and yet felt right alongside you during the visit to the lovely Althorp estate and Diana's resting place.
Wonderful! Thank you.
Beautiful video thank you for a wonderful memory I visited there on my birthday which is also Princess Diana’s birthday July 1
Thank you so much for making such a peaceful video and really loved how you described your tour too!
Thank you so much.
What I found strange was that apparently, some years ago due to a lack of funds ( which isn’t unusual for those who own stately homes as the running costs are phenomenal ) Diana’s ‘island’ became unkempt and really run down. Eventually, as money became available it was completely refurbished and restored to its former beauty.
Given the love and respect that was always accorded to Diana by the British people, before and after her death,
I thought it was odd that on visits to her private gravesite, neither of her sons ( especially H ) thought to pay for her resting place to be restored. Unless of course, they never visited it, so they were unaware of the unfortunate state it’d fallen into. Given the amt. of angst ( to say the least ) weeping and wailing of Harry in particular, to then
never visit her grave - how hard is it to buy a posy or a little bunch of her favourite flowers and put them on her grave ? Maybe as some people say, she is interred inside the little church with her family but unmarked, so she can rest without souvenir hunters and tourists disturbing her. It’s strange I know, but it would explain why Diana’s island wasn’t prioritised to the top of Earl Spencer’s ‘to do’ list ? I don’t know.
Very thought provoking comments, thank you.
Thanks so much for the video! Such a beautiful and peaceful place!
This was just lovely and a loving tribute to Princess Diana. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you so much!
I visited the place in 1998, 1 year after Diana death. At that time many people where there, we laid flowers at the greek temple in memory of the Queen of hearts. It was a very emotional visit.
Exquisite in beauty and wonderfully presented; felt like I was there walking with you. Thank you so very much.
Here, she can be at peace.....beautiful, but sad Diana. You will always be the Queen. RIP
I was 16 when I watched her wedding sitting on the floor in my parents house. I got up at wee hours of the morning to see her funeral before work. And now I watch a video of her final resting place. All these years have passed and it still pains me to know she's gone. So beautiful, so elegant, so much etiquette. A true Princess. She will ALWAYS BE LOVED, ALWAYS!
Thank you for this beautiful tour of the Althorp Estate. ❤
What a lovely video! I truly thoroughly enjoyed it so much! Thank you for posting it. I still remember exactly where I was & what I was doing when the special report came on the news. Even though I am an American & obviously had never met Princess Diana, I grieved as though I had lost a friend. Her tragic accident was a loss not just for England, but the entire World. May she RIP on that beautiful serene island.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment.
She was an outstanding lady and deserved better. She is the real true queen.❤❤❤
This video was absolutely fantastic! I've often wondered what Althorp grounds were like. Diana's resting place is beautiful and so peaceful. Thank you so much for sharing your video with all of us! ❤
Thank you.
Beautifully documented. Thanks so much for sharing.
Many thanks!
Thank you for the video ...brought back memories. Charles Spencer really honoured her with his words and actions
Words can not say we will always love her she panted a true seed of love ❤
Thank you so much for your kind act of sharing this visit with us. God bless you.
Rest In Peace dear Princess Diana GBY Your family
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It brought tears to my eyes. I loved Diana and admired her. What a tranquil area. Absolutely beautiful! I wish she had lived to see her beautiful extended family. So sad. So thank you for this amazing tour. I will subscribe 💕
What lovely comments, thank you.
Very nicely done video. Thank you for sharing. Diana is very much missed by many.
Beautiful Prinzessin Diana, bless you in Heaven 🙏🙏
Wunderschön, es fühlt sich an,als wäre man inmitten dieses unglaublichen schönen und friedlichen Flecken Erde.
Vielen lieben Dank für diese Aufnahmen🎉😮
Thank you, that was beautiful to see. I wasn’t aware that they had tours. It’s very nice to see that she is in a safe place of beauty and with her family. ❤
It really is!
This is beautiful and unique just like Princess Diana. The peace, the sound of birds chirping, and the privacy which she so deserves, is finally hers. She probably would love this place for people to come to remember her instead of the family site. It is very beautiful and tastefully done. Of course, I wish that this was not where she would be now. However, it's beautiful and unique and peaceful.
I'll always remember her and miss her being in our world. May her memory be an inspiration to us all that we need to reach out to those who need our love, compassion and support ❤️.
The world never going to forget the most beautiful amazing woman princess Diana ❤the real princess ❤❤
Yes, Diana's burial place is certainly beautiful,and it allows her family to remember her in private, but, let's be honest: it also is a source of income for Earl Spencer. And it was NOT what Diana herself wanted.
The one thing I can tell you for sure, and you could even ask any of the residents that live in the area she is not buried on the island. She is buried underneath the church that she was baptized, and that is not far away from the estate. In fact, I think it’s right nearby.
This scenery is beautiful and breathtaking am feeling like if am there wonderful wow 🙏🙏❤️❤️
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing. I admired Diana so much , may she rest in peace
😬 Although this is romantic, I'm not sure I like it or that they really knew her at all. In life, Princess Diana enjoyed being with people and approachable. In death, she wanted to be together with her clan in the family crypt yet they went against her wishes and essence in life to put her on this artificial island all alone. Plus I imagine the dry Spencer family crypt might've preserved her body better than being in the ground of a waterlogged island lake. Other than that, Althorp is a GORGEOUS and TRANQUIL estate! Really love all the hydrangeas and peafowls!
It is very lonely and sad to see where she is buried. In a small land all alone. So depressing.
Thank you for a lovely video. Beautiful sunshine too - really enhances the experience. Such a sad loss for England.
J aimerais tellement y aller.C est un de mes rêves.!.
Rester pres d elle .❤❤❤❤❤
J espère pouvoir realiser ce rêve.
Merci beaucoup pour cette video magnifique..😢😢❤❤❤❤
