This year marks the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's tragic passing and in order to remember her life, 12,000 of her favourite flowers have been hand-planted in the grounds of her former residence, Kensington Palace.
The White Garden, originally known as the Sunken Garden, is inspired by the late princess' influential aesthetic. Gardeners sought reference from the famous 'Elvis' Catherine Walker dress for instance, which is currently on display at the palace's fashion exhibition.
The royal garden undoubtedly held a special place in Diana's heart, as she would often stroll through the foliage in the early hours of the morning to avoid being spotted by the public.
Head gardener Sean Harkin revealed to the Daily Mail: "She would often have a chat with the gardeners and comment on all their hard work. One gardener told me how he was walking along with a wheelbarrow in front of her. It's really embarrassing, but he tripped and fell over. The wheelbarrow was over-weighted, so everything spilled everywhere."
He continued: "Princess Diana was going by and turned around and said 'Bad luck, chaps', and kind of gave a smile".
And the flowers, which include the aptly named Tulpia Diana, Persian lilies and Treasure Primrose wallflowers, have bloomed earlier than anticipated.
As a special touch, 3,500 white forget-me-nots have also been planted. According to her brother, Earl Spencer, they were his sister's favourites. He even recalled her giving him a small pot of blue blooms when he was just six. The flower also holds special meaning to Diana's youngest son, Prince Harry, as he named his charity 'Sentebale', which translates to 'forget me not'.
The White Garden is now open to the public and is free of charge. The flowers are at their best from now until September.
