Plans for Diana UK memorial garden

Kensington Palace says the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's death next year will be marked with a new memorial garden.

Plans are being drawn up for a memorial garden to commemorate the life of Princess Diana on the 20th anniversary of her death, Kensington Palace has confirmed.

Historic Royal Palaces, the charity responsible for overseeing the plans, recently advertised for a new gardener to help with the project, which is expected to be completed before the anniversary on August 31, 2017.

Diana, who died in a car accident in a Paris underpass with her partner Dodi Fayed, would have been 56 if she had survived the crash in 1997.

The garden, which is in the "very early stages of development", will become the fourth London memorial to pay tribute to Diana if it reaches completion, joining the Diana Memorial Playground at Kensington Palace, the Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park, and the Diana Memorial Walk at St James' Palace.

A spokesman for Kensington Palace confirmed that plans were being explored by palace officials and management at Historic Royal Palaces.

He added that Diana's sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, were being kept "informed" about the garden project.
