Where Did Princess Diana Live? Here is the royal’s domestic life in 15 pictures.
Whether it was a handshake with an AIDS patient or walking through active landmines in Angola in 1997, the late royal’s public image is still seared in popular culture. Prince William and Prince Harry’s mother’s face might have been on the front page of newspapers across the 1980s and the 1990s, but she was also resolutely private when she wanted to be.

So, where did Princess Diana live away from the spotlight? “I am not a political figure, I am a humanitarian figure, and always have been and always will be,” she said in 1997, months before her tragic death. Diana, who was 20 when she married King Charles in 1981, embraced that mentality throughout her time as a royal, devoting herself to causes that ranged from mental health to homelessness. It was Diana’s kindness and care for others that led Prime Minister Tony Blair to dub her The People’s Princess.
It’s no surprise, then, that Princess Diana was a devoted parent and favoured playful, colourful interiors that matched her warm disposition. Below, we’ve rounded up photos of the late icon at her royal residences.
