Charles, Earl Spencer has issued an update on the Althorp Estate where he lives, ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s rumoured visit. Although unconfirmed, it is believed Harry — who has been in the UK since Monday — could visit his late mother’s ancestral home this weekend, where Diana’s brother still resides.
Potential Family Visit to Althorp
It is likely that Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — who are expected to privately join Prince Harry in Britain within the next few days — could accompany the duke when visiting Althorp, which may include a visit to Diana’s resting place on the estate’s grounds. The family could also stay at the estate, especially as it is closed to the public this weekend. No official confirmation has been given on this.
Earl Spencer's Social Media Update
While Charles has stayed tight-lipped about whether he will be hosting his nephew, he has been vocal about the estate’s new residents. Yesterday, he shared a picture of four young black swans on Instagram, writing: “I’ve just introduced these four beautiful, young, black swans (two male, two female) to Althorp’s Round Oval Lake. Their plumage will darken as they age. These were a favourite breed, in childhood — so exotic (they are Australian), and gorgeous. Pleased to report that they’ve settled in very happily.”
Fans have commented on the new additions, noting how they could delight Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet if they visit. One fan wrote: “It will be wonderful when Archie and Lilibet can watch these graceful swans while visiting Grandma Diana.” Another said: “Beautiful and serene, like Diana.” A third commented: “Just beautiful and very fitting for your sister's Eternal Peace.”
Estate Closure and Uncertainty
It is not known if Harry and his family will visit the Althorp Estate, which is usually open to the public every day in the summer, but will be closed to the public today and tomorrow.
