The estranged royal reportedly quartered at Althorp House, where his mother is buried, when he traveled to Northamptonshire last week
California resident Prince Harry returned to England to pay his respects on August 28, at the funeral of his uncle Lord Robert Fellowes, and it was likely a sentimental pilgrimage for the Montecito-based royal. According to People, the Duke of Sussex stayed at Lady Di’s childhood home and final resting place, Althorp House, during the visit. The 13,000-acre Northamptonshire estate, currently owned by Diana’s younger brother, Charles Spencer, has been in the Spencer family for over 500 years.
AD toured the Grade I listed country home in 1991, following extensive renovations by Diana’s father, Lord John Spencer. Diana was 14 when her family moved into the home—which hosts over 90 rooms, including a 115-foot-long picture gallery lined in Tudor-style oak paneling and a double-height Georgian-style entrance hall where the People’s Princess practiced tap dancing. Diana was buried on a small island in the middle of Round Oval Lake on the grounds of Althorp, surrounded by 36 oak trees—one for each year of the young princess’s life.
Per Vanity Fair, Harry recounted a 2022 visit to the burial site with his wife, Meghan Markle, in his 2023 memoir Spare. “Gliding across the pond, I gazed around at Althorp’s rolling fields and ancient trees, the thousands of green acres where my mother grew up, and where, though things weren’t perfect, she’d known some peace,” he wrote.

Harry’s brother Prince William also attended last week’s memorial service, which took place at St. Mary’s Church in Snettisham, Norfolk, about two hours from Althorp. The estranged siblings reportedly sat separately. “The fact that William didn’t boycott it because Harry was going to be there has cast a glimmer of hope in an otherwise deeply depressing impasse,” an unnamed source told The Daily Beast. Another source told the outlet, “The Spencers have been working hard to get the brothers to reconcile. They understand William’s hurt at Harry’s betrayal, but they also understand Harry’s position because of the way Diana was treated by the Windsors.”
