Prince Harry has reportedly made an emotional return to one of the places closest to his heart during his recent trip to the UK.
The Duke visited his late mother Princess Diana’s ancestral home just days after what would have been her 65th birthday.
According to The sunHe was seen leaving Althorp House in Northamptonshire on Friday.
The historic 13,000 hectare property has belonged to the Spencer family for more than 500 years and has deep personal significance for Harry as it is where Princess Diana spent part of her childhood and where she was laid to rest after her death in 1997.
The estate remains the home of Diana’s brother, Earl Charles Spencer, while the late Princess of Wales is buried on a secluded island in the middle of a calm lake, a private memorial that remains closed to the public.
Harry’s reported visit came shortly after July 1, the date that would have marked his mother’s 65th birthday, adding to the poignancy of the occasion.
The Duke is currently in the UK with Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to mark the one-year countdown to the Birmingham 2027 Invictus Games.
Reports previously suggested that Harry hoped to introduce his children to their grandmother’s final resting place during the family visit.
Meghan is believed to have visited Diana’s grave in 2022, but Archie and Lilibet have yet to do so.
