The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain is a memorial in London dedicated to Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a car crash in 1997. It was designed to express Diana's spirit and love of children.^[1]

Its cornerstone was laid in September 2003 and it was officially opened on 6 July 2004 by Queen Elizabeth II.^[2] Also present were Diana's younger brother Charles Spencer, her ex-husband Prince Charles (the future Charles III), her sons Prince William and Prince Harry, her ex–father-in-law Prince Philip and her two sisters Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale.^[3] The opening ceremony brought the Windsors and the Spencers together for the first time in seven years.^[4]
