There are several articles on the blog about Diana and the events marking her anniversary this year. Among them are the tributes paid to her by her sons, William and Harry, who visited the White Garden planted in her honour on August 30th 2017.

The garden was planted earlier this year and is one of many tributes to the princess. It's at her London home, Kensington Palace, which is also hosting an exhibition of her dresses to mark her life in fashion. Buckingham Palace also has a special display celebrating the life of the princess.
