However visitors can not approach the tomb of Lady Di. They must be content, from the shores of the lake to see the island on which stands a bronze urn. And they can pray before a shrine erected to his memory in the park.

In the summer of 2014, Darren McGrady, former chef of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana and her son, had rebelled about the lack of maintenance of the burial of the young woman disappeared in just 36 years.

"Please look after the vegetation of the island. Prove you want Princess Diana sits there for love and not just to make money. " He was countered him at the time that the place was well maintained and it was just seaweed that had spread because of the heat.

However, in spring 2016, the family of Diana reported that a restoration would be committed. A spokesman of the Spencer family has said in effect, according to comments reported by the "Daily Mail": "The Round Oval where Diana, Princess of Wales, is based undergone an extensive redesign to honor his memory. This will be completed for the 20th anniversary of his death in August 2017 ".

The British Royal Courts: The Red hair princes opens up

If life of a prince of the British crown undeniably has its advantages, it is not without drawbacks. Prince Harry spoke with British media the "Sunday Times", when told that "little privacy," he has left. "If I find a girlfriend, I do my best for her and I are at home together before his private life is inevitably invaded. The other concern is that when I speak to a girl, it's like she is suddenly my wife and people will knock on her door, "says Harry, who has kept these two serious relationships in recent years, with Cressida Bonas and before that, Chelsea Davy.

For the young prince, now a darling of the media, things have not always been easy. He said he experienced moments "very dark" when an Australian newspaper revealed that he was engaged in the military in Afghanistan. "Having to go and leave my friends out there ... It was one of the worst moments of my life," he explains to the "Times." However, if the army lacks the prince says he could not find a normal job. "I seriously thought about finding work. I did ten years in the army, it was the best job in the world. I wanted the company consider myself that way. It do not help me to stay home, ass in a chair-and I mean the part of the body, I said, it's not a dirty word. "However, finding a job like any other when is part of "the Firm" as it sometimes called the British royal family, is not so easy. "Some jobs are inaccessible, unfortunately."

Prince George and Princess Charlotte uncle, the children of his brother William and Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, is not done illusions about his future. "I am in a privileged position and I will use it as long as I can or until I become boring. Or until George becomes more interesting than me, "he amuses. Very committed to the veterans, the Prince is currently involved in the Invictus Games, a sporting event for veterans. Yet Harry suspects that its ability to raise capital depends on his sympathy. "There's nothing worse than through a period of your life when you contribute to change and suddenly, for one reason or another, be it the media or a change in perception people to you, you dive. Want to contribute but nobody listens to you, "he says.

His commitment, he said, is the legacy of his mother, Diana. "I do not track my way consciously imagining that my mother would be proud of me. But I think she would be very proud, "said the prince. "With me, there is nothing hidden, everything is authentic. I always try to bring some fun and joy in everything I do. That probably comes from my mother, I try to fill that void. In his footsteps or those of the queen, it's hard, "says Harry.
