Britain's Princess Diana's ancestral home is being rented out.
The late royal's brother Earl Spencer is reportedly planning to charge £25,000 a night for visitors in groups of up to 50 to stay at his Althorp estate, which is where Diana is buried, in Northampton.
A five-course meal is on offer for an extra £300-per head and groups can have the dinner served in the ornate grand picture gallery if they pay a further £10,000.
Breakfast is not included in the price, unless the guests pay out £500 each on top, which would bring the total price for a party of 50 to £75,000 per night.
The house is set in 550 acres of parkland and the Princess' grave and memorial are on a tiny island in the Oval Lake, which is where some wedding groups pose for photographs.
Diana's friend Simone Simmons is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: 'The Earl closed Althorp to the public because he didn't want to exploit his sister's memory but he's doing much the same by renting out rooms. By staying there, people are simply helping him make money.'
