Princess Diana’s South Africa holiday home where she met Nelson Mandela goes up for sale for £6.75m




“Its valuation reflects the rarity of the opportunity this property can claim, its romantic story, and its established place in Cape Town’s heritage with a documented past.“The association of Tarrystone with Earl Spencer and Princess Diana gives the estate a particularly compelling story adding an element of romance and historical interest”.Alongside the South African retreat, Diana had several holiday hotspots she enjoyed frequenting, including the island of Nevis in the British Virgin Islands and Lech Austria, where she enjoyed skiing with her sons. When Prince William and Harry were young, the Princess also often took them to Isles of Scilly off the Cornish coast to escape the spotlight. Ahead of his visit to the island to raise awareness for the local hospital in May, William described it as “a different world” and “beautiful” as he recounted his happy childhood memories on an appearance on Heart Breakfast Radio.
