He went on to share "Strange to think that that summer season is bookended by 1 July - Diana’s birthday - and 31 August - the day she died."

The uncle of Princes Harry and William further noted, "My deepest thanks go to the @althorphouse team, who were truly outstanding again this summer - treating visitors as honoured guests of my family."

He further commended one of the team members Sarah P for leading the guests "with quiet charm and an excellent natural feel for what matters."
