The event has reminded us all of an amazing and complex life, which was cut short too soon. Princess Diana was declared dead in a French hospital as a result of injuries sustained in a tragic car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997. She was aged just 36 when she died. Her grave can be found at Althorp House in Northampton, with her memorial located on a small island opposite a lake. The property has been in the Spencer family for hundreds of years, and visitors are allowed to pay their respects to the peoples princess at the memorial. When Prince Charles first met Lady Diana Spencer, she was just 16 years old, 12 years his junior. The pair went on to get married in what was labelled the wedding of the century on July 29, 1981, when Diana was 20 years old. The memorial statue will be located in the redesigned Sunken Garden in Kensington Palace among all of Princess Dianas favourite flowers, including white lilies, tulips, daisies, and forget-me-nots. The location of the tribute is particularly significant as Diana once spent a lot of time in the garden, as did William and Harry, who played there as children. More recently, Prince Harry officially announced his engagement to Meghan Markle in the Sunken Garden, with Markle saying: [Harry] wanted to feel like Diana is a part of this with us.  Members of the public will be able to visit the statue in the garden, which is situated within Hyde Park, for free from tomorrow, Friday, July 2, in line with the Palaces usual opening hours.
