Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, has commemorated the 28th anniversary of his sister Princess Diana's death with a moving tribute on Instagram. He shared two photographs taken at her final resting place on the island at Althorp, the Spencer family estate in Northamptonshire, where he laid a bouquet of flowers.
In the caption, Earl Spencer wrote: 'Flowers we cut this morning from Althorp’s gardens for the Island. Always an impossible day.' The post prompted an outpouring of grief and admiration from followers, with many praising Diana's enduring legacy and her brother's support for her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
One follower recalled the eulogy Earl Spencer delivered at Diana's funeral, stating: 'I will never forget the Eulogy that you gave. You have really made her proud, especially with her children. Supporting Harry so publicly because she couldn't will forever hold a special image in my mind.'
Diana, known as the 'People’s Princess', died in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997. Her funeral at Westminster Abbey on 6 September 1997 was attended by royals, celebrities, and thousands of mourners. No official messages from the royal family have been shared publicly on this anniversary.
