Princess Diana lived in several glamorous homes during her life, but one with reported links to the late Princess of Wales has now hit the market.

Ormeley Lodge was previously owned by Lady Annabel Goldsmith, but it is now on sale for £25 million following her death on 18 October 2025. Lady Annabel was incredibly close with Diana, even testifying at the 2007 inquest into her death.

Confirming that the property was now on the market, Lady Annabel's son, Ben Goldsmith, told the Mail: "Ormeley has been our treasured home for our whole lives. But it’s time now to pass it on to another lucky family."

While Diana never lived at Ormeley Lodge, it played a central role in her life, reportedly being the venue where she confronted Queen Camilla over her affair with Diana's husband, the then Prince Charles.

The confrontation came at a 40th birthday party that Lady Annabel had organised for Camilla's sister, Annabel Elliot.

During their confrontation, Diana reportedly told Camilla: "I would just like you to know that I know exactly what is going on. I'm sorry I'm in the way. It must be hell for both of you… don't treat me like an idiot."

Inside Ormeley Lodge

The property is a ten-bedroom Georgian estate in Richmond, London. The home is listed on Sotheby's, and is described as an "exquisite early Georgian estate occupying an exceptional position between Richmond Park and Ham Common".

The listing continues: "Dating from the final years of the Stuart period and the beginning of the Georgian era, Ormeley Lodge beautifully embodies both English Baroque and Classical architecture. The principal rooms enjoy ceiling heights averaging more than 11 feet, while elegant proportions, original fireplaces, intricate cornicing and magnificent sash windows create wonderfully bright interiors that retain all the balance and grandeur of early eighteenth-century design.

"Remarkably, the estate remains intact, preserving not only the principal residence but also its historic collection of cottages, service buildings and beautifully enclosed gardens.

The ground floor has been arranged for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. A magnificent drawing room and handsome library sit alongside an elegant dining room, while the generous kitchen is served by a pantry, breakfast room and staff room.
