Farmhouse On Princess Diana’s Childhood Estate Burned In Suspected Arson Attack
A farmhouse on the childhood estate of Princess Diana was torched in a suspected arson attack on Tuesday, the late royal’s younger brother, Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, revealed on social media.
“Luckily unoccupied at the time – but still deeply disturbing that one of our farmhouses was torched by vandals last night,” Spencer wrote alongside a photo on his Instagram Stories.
Althorp House and the surrounding estate in Kingsthorpe, Northampton, has been in the Spencer family for more than 500 years. Diana, the late Princess of Wales and mother to Prince William and Prince Harry, was buried on the estate after her 1997 death, on a secluded island known as Oval Lake Grave, in the middle of Round Oval Lake, which is not accessible to the public.
The main house was not damaged or targeted in the arson attack.
“The farmhouse that we lost to a deliberate act of vandalism last night has now had to be razed to the ground for safety reasons,” Adey Greeno, Conservation Manager at Althorp Estates, wrote on X. “So sad. The world we live in.”
“Thanks to @northantsfire for doing their very best,” Spencer wrote on X. “So very sad that anyone would think this a fun thing to do.”
Although members of the public cannot access Diana’s gravesite, there is a memorial on the estate for well wishers to pay respects.
