Charles Spencer has revealed that he visits Princess Diana's grave almost daily as a moving tribute to his late sister.Speaking to Good Morning Britain on October 15, the 9th Earl Spencer, who runs the family's historic Althorpe estate, said that memories of his sister are routinely He said it is “very much” present.

“I go there almost every day,” he said of his sister's private cemetery on a small island in the middle of Lake Oval on the estate. Spencer, who famously delivered a eulogy blaming the media for Princess Diana's death, replied, “Not always,” when asked if he spoke with his sister during his visit.

But he did say, “One of her closest childhood friends came to the island last week. It was very nice.”

Diana's grave can only be reached by rowboat and is not open to the public, but was once accessible by bridge. He writes, “The bridge had been removed to give my mother some privacy and to keep intruders away.”

Because his sister's grave is in the middle of the lake, Earl Spencer received a particularly touching gift on his 60th birthday. He told Good Morning Britain that a friend had “handmade” him a canoe for his daily trips to visit Princess Diana.

The public is not allowed to enter Diana's tomb, but they can visit The Temple, a monument to Princess Diana on the grounds. The Grecian-style building has been part of Althorpe for hundreds of years, but was dedicated to the princess in 1998 and has a plaque with her name and a quote from the eulogy of the princess and her brother.

Spencer said she is constantly called upon by people who want to share their memories of her sister, who tragically died in a car accident in 1997.

“Even when I was doing my makeup earlier, someone came up to me almost in tears saying how much she meant to them,” he told Good Morning Britain, adding, “Every day, people tell me what an inspiration she was, how much they miss her, and what they did the day she died. It's extraordinary."

‘It's a very special thing,’

he said.

“I think most people watching this show have had a family trauma at some point,” he continued, “and like everyone else, it never goes away, you kind of get used to it.”
