    In summer, Charles Spencer shared a photo of the lake by night. The image captured the almost-full moon high in the sky shining down on the glistening lake. In the background, a dense wall of trees creates privacy around the body of water and makes for a scenic landscape for the shot.

    Fans said Charles' November photograph of the stunning lake looked like a "painting" and we can't help but agree. The body of water is flanked by trees which make a beautiful frame for the poignant photo.

    The public cannot access Diana's private grave when the house is open for viewing, as it is located on an island in the middle of the Round Oval Lake. However, members of the public can pay their respects at the special temple, which is where people like to leave flowers, cards and special tributes to the late Princess.

    Charles recently revealed that the temple, although dedicated to his late sister, was not actually constructed for her.

    The grand gates which open up to the grounds were compared to the "gates of heaven" when the Earl shared a misty photograph of them one morning.  

    "Looks like the gates to heaven, how beautiful [love heart emoji]," penned one follower, and: "Looks almost like the gates of heaven [love heart emoji]," added another. A third wrote: "Heavenly vision."
