While the 500-year-old Althorp estate is open to the public during the summer, it does not allow access to the island. The estate is closed to the public on July 10 and 11, according to its website.
The Duke described in Spare how he had helped Meghan into a boat to take her to the island during her last UK visit in 2022.
“No visit to this place was ever easy, but this one…Twenty-fifth anniversary. And Meg’s first time,” he wrote.
“At long last I was bringing the girl of my dreams home to meet mum. We hesitated, hugging, and then I went first. I placed flowers on the grave. Meg gave me a moment, and I spoke to my mother in my head, told her I missed her, asked her for guidance and clarity.
“Feeling that Meg might also want a moment, I went around the hedge, scanned the pond. When I came back, Meg was kneeling, eyes shut, palms against the stone.
“I asked, as we walked back to the boat, what she’d prayed for. Clarity, she said. And guidance.”
