Diana grew up in the family's Althorp House, which resides in Northamptonshire, and is currently Charles' home. The Princess of Wales was even buried at the property, with visitors leaving their tributes outside the temple where she rests.
The residence was in fact the first place that Diana met Prince Charles, when he was invited to the family home by her sister Sarah Spencer.
Charles Spencer grew up at Althorp House with his three older sisters, and inherited the family home when his father John died in 1992. Charles became the 9th Earl Spencer, and set about renovating the family's ancestral seat.

When the public visit the breathtaking home it's an exclusive experience as Charles has taken the decision to ban photography inside the property.
However, fans are permitted to take photos outside of the family home, meaning they can get a beautiful photo of the exterior of the building.

The house includes a grand bedroom where Princess Diana would practice her tap dancing and two impressive dining rooms, one called the Marlborough Room, and another the Great Room.
However, tributes have to be left ahead of the poignant anniversary, as Althorp House annually closes its doors to visitors on 29 August. Fans often leave further tributes outside the gates of the home on the date of Diana's passing.
