Princess Diana’s grave restored after visitors complain it was NEGLECTED
PRINCESS Diana’s final resting place has been restored after visitors complained it had fallen into neglect, writes Camilla Tominey.
Photographs posted on Instagram by her brother Earl Spencer show the island where she is buried in full bloom and the lake cleared of algae.
A caption reads: “I chose rhododendrons because we grew up on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, where rhododendrons dominate the landscape. Part of a shared childhood.
“Meanwhile forget-me-nots lace the island itself – another childhood favourite.”

The revamp was part of a multimillion pound renovation at Althorp to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death, as revealed two years ago by the Sunday Express.
Earl Spencer, 53, was criticised for allowing the burial site to become overgrown on his 13,000- acre estate in Northamptonshire.
Diana’s personal chef Darren McGrady, 56, was among those who complained, posting a series of pictures of the algae-covered lake along with strongly worded comments.
One read: “Sad to see Earl Spencer has neglected Diana’s resting place.”
