Charles Spencer reacts to news of Princess Diana's blue plaque outside former London flat

Diana's parents bought her 60 Coleherne Court, a property in a mansion block close to the fashionable King’s Road in Chelsea, when she settled in the capital as a young woman.

She shared the £50,000 flat with a number of girlfriends and was said to have a sign above her bedroom door which read"Chief Chick". Diana described the few years she lived in the three-bed flat as"the happiest time of her life", according to Andrew Morton’s bookLady Diana Spencer, as she was then known, was working at Young England Kindergarten in Pimlico, central London, before she became engaged to Prince Charles.

The late Princess is the highest profile former member of the monarchy to be bestowed the honour, and was nominated by the London Assembly after the body ran a campaign asking Londoners to suggest women worthy of a blue plaque. Anna Eavis, English Heritage’s curatorial director, said Diana's campaigns to highlight issues like HIV/Aids and landmines – and her enduring appeal as"an inspiration and cultural icon to many", were deciding factors.
