Princess Diana childhood home in Downton aided makeover
The childhood home of Princess Diana has had its 160-year-old carpet replaced, with the help of the man who wrote Downton Abbey.
Her brother Earl Spencer said Lord Fellowes, creator of historical period drama Downton Abbey, helped source a manufacturer.
The earl, who lives at Althorp House in Northamptonshire, told how he and his late sister used to ride down its grand staircase on tea trays.
