Althorp is a beautiful sixteenth century house built by Sir John Spencer and has since become famous for being the childhood home and last resting place of Lady Diana the Princess of Wales. Often called the 'People's Princess', Diana devoted much of her time to the public, particularly children.

When Diana died on 31 August 1997 many people throughout the world felt that they had lost someone special. Diana will be remembered for her style and elegance, as a loving mother, and as a beautiful, warm and passionate lady.
