Princess Diana's private cottage preserved as her former retreat goes on sale

A property in Cape Town is attracting attention for more than its size, views or asking price. Set within the grounds of the Tarrystone Estate in Upper Constantia, the South African residence has a personal connection to Princess Diana, who used to visit the estate after her separation and divorce from King Charles III.

She found privacy there, away from the attention that followed her in Britain, staying in a small thatched cottage on the grounds. As reported by GB News, the estate is now being offered for sale at £6.75 million, with the cottage where Diana spent time reportedly retained much as it was during her visits.Why Princess Diana chose her brother's South African estate for privacyDiana's connection to Tarrystone developed during a difficult period in her personal life.
