Althorp House has belonged to the Spencer family for more than 500 years. Diana, Princess of Wales, spent much of her childhood on the grounds before her passing. Today, her final resting place sits on a secluded island within the estate’s Oval Lake.
Recent UK Itinerary and Family Reunions
The stop at Althorp formed part of a broader itinerary during the family’s recent trip to the United Kingdom. According to reporting on the journey, the family also held a reunion with King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House, a country estate located west of London. This marked the first meeting between the King and his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, since Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022.
