The brother of Diana, Princess of Wales has welcomed plans to honour her life and legacy with a blue plaque on her former London flat.
Earl Spencer described his sister’s first home as a “very happy place for Diana”, where she enjoyed a carefree period as a young woman living with girlfriends in Earl’s Court before marrying the Prince of Wales in 1981.
Charles Spencer shared a mocked-up image of the English Heritage “memorial tablet” in a tweet and a picture of the final piece being created.
How very lovely that this blue plaque will be going up outside Coleherne Court – thank you, @EnglishHeritage, for commemorating such a very happy place for Diana in this way. pic.twitter.com/FiDk3ZtLpG
