Princess Diana's childhood home has been placed on the rental market, sparking a frenzy amongst royal fans.

Earlier this summer, royal watchers were given the opportunity to visit the stately home, but now they can rent the entire property for an extended stay using Elysian Estates.


The website's description for Althorp House says: "Althorp truly is one of the most spectacular, luxurious and exclusive venues in the UK.

"The ancestral home of the Spencer family, Althorp stands sentinel in its vast private estate, with a magnificent exterior matched by the beauty of the surrounding parkland.

"Althorp offers unparalleled levels of service, privacy and luxury to rival the finest properties anywhere in the world; yet retains the truly welcoming and homely feel that makes Althorp so special.

"Walk in the footsteps of Kings and Queens, feast or celebrate in spectacular surroundings, marvel at the sense of history and artwork, and slumber in pure luxury.

"To stay at Althorp is to become part of the amazing history of this magnificent property, renowned for its discreet yet spectacular hospitality to guests including royalty and aristocracy since 1508."

Prices are available on request, but they certainly will not come cheap given that the property can house 54 people per night.

One Instagram account said: "It's my ultimate wish to stay there, but this will have to remain in my dreams."

Another royal watcher commented: "I wish I was fortunate enough! The home and grounds are just beautiful."

"My daughter would love the deer and peacocks and my parents would love the gardens, history and of course to pay respects to Princess Diana," someone else added.

Princess Diana moved to Althorp House in 1975 when she was 14 years old, six years before her royal wedding to then-Prince Charles.

When fans rent the iconic property, they can make use of the butler service, private chefs, housekeeping, concierge service, 32 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, games room, snooker, and spa treatments available.

The late Princess of Wales's grave is located on the grounds of the estate, on an island in the middle of a lake.

Diana's younger brother, Earl Charles Spencer now runs the 13,000-acre estate.
