Meghan Markle posted a new Instagram carousel on July 23.

One photo saw Prince Archie, Princess Lilibet, and Prince Harry on the grounds of Althorp House.

Princess Diana spent her teenage years there, and she’s also buried on the property.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet visited Princess Diana’s former home during their trip to the United Kingdom earlier this month. In a new photo posted by their mom, Meghan Markle, the siblings could be seen on the grounds of Althorp House.

“Summer Holiday,” Meghan captioned her July 23 carousel, which included a picture of Archie, Lilibet, and Harry strolling through a grove of hedges and trees located on the property. Harry and Archie strolled ahead of Lilibet, who wore a floral dress with metallic sandals while touting a tiny purse.

The late Princess of Wales spent her teenage years at Althorp, which is located in West Northamptonshire. She is also buried at the estate, which her family has owned for over 500 years.

Diana first moved into Althorp in 1975, at age 13, when her father, John Spencer, inherited the title of earl and the rights to the home. Before that, they lived at the idyllic Park House on the royal family’s Sandringham estate.

Moving from her childhood home to her ancestral one was quite a shift for teenage Diana. “That was a terrible wrench, leaving Norfolk, because that’s where everybody who I’d grown up with lived,” the princess told author Sarah Bradford in her 2006 biography, Diana.

Diana spent approximately three years there before attending a Swiss finishing school for a semester in 1978 and subsequently moving in with her mother in London. On her 18th birthday, according to Bradford, Diana’s mother bought her a flat in West London as a present. She would live there until becoming engaged to Prince Charles in 1981, at which time she moved into Clarence House.

Following her death in 1997, Diana was buried on an island located on the grounds. The Oval Lake Grave, as it’s known, was chosen so “her grave can be properly looked after by her family and visited in privacy by her sons,” her brother, Charles, 9th Earl Spencer, once said in a statement, per People.

Althorp House sits on an expansive 14,000-acre estate—for reference, Manhattan is around 14,600 acres—encompassing a lake, stables, an 18th-century guesthouse, a memorial temple honoring Diana, and the lush surrounding gardens.
