Prince Harry Opens Up About Emotional Visit to Princess Diana’s Grave in New Memoir

In a groundbreaking memoir titled “Spare,” Prince Harry has revealed intimate details about his life, including the poignant moment when he brought his wife, Meghan Markle, to visit his late mother's grave.

Princess Diana tragically passed away on August 31st, 1997, following a car crash in Paris at the age of 36.

Published in January, Harry's memoir delves into the emotional experience of introducing Meghan to his mother's final resting place in 2022, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Diana's passing.

Princess Diana is laid to rest at Althorp, the ancestral home of the Spensa family located in Northamptonshire, England.

Her burial site is situated on an island at the heart of the ornamental lake known as the Round Oval, a serene and private space inaccessible to the general public.

Describing their visit, Harry writes about how he and Meghan embarked on a boat to reach the island, knowing that paying respects to his mother has never been an easy task.

However, on this significant milestone, Harry expressed his relief at being able to finally bring “the girl of my dreams” home to meet his mom.

He recounts the moment when he tenderly placed flowers at Diana's grave, while Meghan gave him the space to have a personal conversation with his late mother.

In his own words, Harry shared how he expressed his longing for her and sought her guidance during this emotional encounter.
