Meghan Markle to visit Princess Diana's grave for the first time on the anniversary of her death

While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been together for over three years, the Duchess of Sussex is set to make her first-ever visit to Princess Diana's burial site.

According to the Daily Mail, Meghan, Harry and their baby son Archie will take a trip to the Althrop estate to visit his mother's final resting place in honour of the 22nd anniversary of her death on August 31.

A royal source told the publication: "Harry wants Meghan to see his mother's resting place."

Diana, who was tragically killed in a car accident back in 1997 at the age of 36, was laid to rest in the middle of a tranquil island on a lake in the grounds of her childhood home.

Harry and his brother Prince William used to visit Althorp Estate twice a year – on her birthday on July 1 and on the anniversary of her death. 

However, the visit will also mark Harry's first visit since 2017 when the brothers attended a private ceremony for her 56th birthday.

The Duchess' first visit to Diana's grave is bound to mean a lot to Harry, as he previously said that the two would have been "best friends."

The Duke of Sussex has maintained a close bond with Diana's family and he also proposed to Meghan with a custom-made engagement ring, which features two diamonds from his mother's personal jewellery collection.
