Prince William lives in London's Kensington Palace with his wife Princess Kate and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. It's a property where the late Princess Diana spent some of her life, and she's left her mark on one part of it…
Within the grounds of the palace lies the Sunken Garden which is a space that has been dedicated to William's late mother for many years now.
The garden was first created in 1908 by King Edward VII and its layout and features have transformed over time.
The 2017 makeover

Diana's special statue

Special engraving

It reads: "These are the units to measure the worth. Of this woman as a woman regardless of birth. Not what was her station? But had she a heart? How did she play her God-given part?"

Charles Spencer's shrine

Althorp was where Diana spent part of her childhood, so it was a fitting place to lay her to rest on the private Oval Lake on the 13,000 acres of grounds, which is only accessible via boat.

"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."
