Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited Princess Diana's childhood home, Althorp, with their children Archie and Lilibet during a recent European trip, sharing photos of the family at the estate on Instagram.
- The visit to Althorp, owned by Diana's brother Charles Spencer, possibly included a private visit to Diana's burial site on an island in the estate's Oval Lake, which is not open to the public.
- Harry faced controversy over his UK visit due to the denial of taxpayer-funded security for his family, leading to Meghan and the children joining him later and staying outside London, meeting King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House.
- Buckingham Palace withdrew an invitation for Harry to stay at a royal residence in London, citing timing and concerns related to Harry's ongoing legal case against Associated Newspapers, despite prior acceptance of the offer.
- After their European trip, the Sussex family returned to their California home in Montecito, where they have lived since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
