Samantha Rennie says that though the Diana fund is no longer actively raising money, people are still making donations.

"We are making what we are callingproactive grants so in a small number of very specific areas such as palliative care, care for the dying in Africa, refugee and asylum" class="hjdict" word="asylum" target=_blank>asylum seekers in the U.K. and other areas such as clustermunitions we are working towards an international ban on cluster munitions in these specific areas we are actually identifying organizations with whom we have worked in the past in order to carry forward those very specific goals,"

Nearly 500 invited guests are expected to attend a memorial service in the historic Guards Chapel at WellingtonBarracks in central London, where her two sons are officers in the British Army. The royal memorial service is not open to the public.
