A memorial garden in honour of Diana, Princess of Wales, is being planned ahead of the 20th anniversary of her death, Kensington Palace announced on Sunday.

A spokesman for Kensington Palace confirmed that plans are being explored by palace officials and management at Historic Royal Palaces, BBC reported.

"Our plans are still at the earliest stages of development, and we're recruiting for staff to help us explore the possibilities," a Historic Royal Palaces spokesman said.

Historic Royal Palaces recently advertised for a new gardener to help with the project, which is expected to be completed before the anniversary on August 31, 2017.

It will be the fourth London memorial created in tribute to Diana if it reaches completion.

The other memorials are the Diana Memorial Playground at Kensington Palace, the Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park, and the Diana Memorial Walk at St James's Palace.

Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris in 1997.
