Harry and Meghan Visited Princess Diana’s Childhood Home - The Cut

What the report says

The Cut reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle brought their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to Althorp, the Spencer family estate where Princess Diana grew up and is buried, during the family’s recent trip to the United Kingdom. The visit became public after Markle posted a collection of photos from the family’s summer travels, including an image that appeared to show Harry and Archie walking along a tree-lined path with flowers, with Lilibet behind them near Markle.

According to The Cut, sources later confirmed to the Daily Mail that the image was taken at Althorp, and that the family visited Diana’s grave and laid flowers there. Diana is buried on an island in a lake on the estate, an area not open to the public. People also reported, as cited by The Cut, that the Sussex family stayed at Althorp as guests of Charles Spencer, Diana’s brother and Harry’s uncle.

The visit was part of a broader U.K. trip that The Cut characterized as significant for the family, noting that Archie and Lilibet had not been brought to Harry’s home country since 2022. The outlet also said the trip included family time with King Charles. The reported stop at Althorp adds a personal Spencer-family dimension to the visit, connecting Harry’s children with the memory of their grandmother as well as with relatives outside the Windsor side of the royal family.
