JULY 7, 1998 SPECIAL REPORT: PRINCESS DIANA, 1961-1997 DIANA SHARES BURIAL SITE The island where Princess Diana is buried used to be a cemetery for family pets, including her favorite cat, Marmalade. The wooded island, which was consecrated by the Bishop of Peterborough before Diana's burial Sept. 6, is on an ornamental lake on the Althorp estate, ancestral home of the Spencer family. The island "at one time" was a burial site for pets, and there are records of four or five of them, including Marmalade, said Shelley-Anne Claircourt, spokeswoman for Diana's brother, Earl Spencer. Britain's Mirror quoted former Althorp housekeeper Maudie Pendrey as saying, "I cannot believe Earl Spencer could be so heartless as to bury his sister in a dog burial ground. It is a desecration." |
