. I was brought down to the lake at Althorp by a friend on Saturday." He added: "Her husband handmade this astonishingly beautiful canoe for me, as a surprise, over many months.

I cried on seeing it. It's almost too exquisite to paddle." "The husband said: 'I just thought it'd be useful, when you visit your sister'.

Such an overwhelmingly beautiful thought." This gift holds profound significance as it enables the Earl to row across the Oval Lake at Althorp House in Northamptonshire to the island where his sister is laid to.
