A wave of criticism has swept through British media after the deplorable condition of Park House was revealed. This is the residence where Diana of Wales was born and spent her childhood.
The property, located on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, has sparked outrage among local residents. In this context, they point directly to King Charles III as responsible for the neglect in which the mansion finds itself.
The worst rumors about King Charles III are confirmed
Park House, which was once an iconic place, has been described as a "shadow of what it once was." The sunken roof, broken windows, and damp stains on its walls are just some of the visible problems.
The garden, overrun by weeds, reflects the deteriorated state of the residence, which was a hotel accessible to people with disabilities for more than 30 years. Since 2021, it has been empty and unused.
However, the closure of the center, after the impacts of the pandemic and high maintenance costs, left the property vacant. Since then, it has been completely neglected.
Local residents, such as a waitress who spoke with The Mirror, haven't hesitated to express their discontent. "It's a lack of respect! This house should be restored so it could be as it originally was," she commented indignantly.
Other members of the community share this sentiment. They believe that the state of Park House is a lack of respect not only for the history of the royal family, but also for the memory of Princess Diana.
England keeps Princess Diana very present
The place where Diana grew up was also the setting for many moments of her childhood, shared with her siblings and the children of Elizabeth II, including Charles III. These memories remain an essential part of the princess's history and her connection to the royal family.
For many, Park House represents the origin of a story that marked an entire generation. The controversy intensified when it became known that, meanwhile, Park House languishes, Charles III approved investment in a top-level project on the same estate: a top-level "glamping" site.
"King Charles has money to invest in his campsite, but not in the house where Diana grew up," a neighbor criticized. This neglect has left an open wound among residents and those who value Diana's legacy.
The comparison with Sandringham House, which is kept with care, has only served to fuel frustration. The indifference toward Park House and its emotional legacy has caused increasingly evident rejection among local inhabitants.
To the point that many of them are calling for concrete action to restore the house and honor Lady Di's memory. They believe that the property deserves to be restored for its historical value and for the meaning it holds for those who remember Diana's legacy.
