DIANA’S GRAVE TARGETED FOUR TIMES, BROTHER SAYS

Grave robbers have targeted the Princess of Wales’s tomb four times in the two decades since her death, her brother has revealed. Earl Spencer said her final resting place on an island at Althorp Park, her family seat, had been deemed the “safest” place for her as public scrutiny became intense following her death.

“There was such a whipped-up feeling of emotion everywhere that I was very worried about where we could safely bury her,” he said. “We’ve had four attempted break-ins towards her body in the past 20 years. I’m very glad we’ve seen them all off.” While he did not indicate what the trespassers’ motivations were, he said: “There are some odd people out there and keeping her right here is the safest place.”
