English Heritage unveils Blue Plaque to Diana, Princess of Wales
Diana, Princess of Wales has today (Wednesday 29 September 2021) been honoured with an English Heritage London blue plaque. Unveiled by Diana’s former flatmate Virginia Clarke, the plaque marks Coleherne Court on the Old Brompton Road, where Diana lived at Flat 60 at the time of her engagement to the then Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, in 1981. Diana described her time at Coleherne Court as one of the happiest of her life and it was from this flat that she took her first steps onto the world stage. The princess, who would have turned 60 this year, used her huge, international profile to speak out on humanitarian issues and raise awareness of charitable causes.
