ROYAL WELCOME

This creepy hotel package lets you eat, sleep and drink exactly like Princess Diana did on Chicago holiday

A HOTEL where Princess Diana once stayed has launched a royal-themed package holiday - where you can eat, drink and sleep exactly as she did.

In 1996, the late royal stayed at Drake Hotel in Chicago, her only visit to the city, for a charity event.

With the visit featuring on the new series of The Crown, the hotel has now launched their "Crowning a Lady" package where fans can copy everything she ate, drank and even had in her bedroom.

According to Travel + Leisure, guests will stay in the Princess Diana suite - once named the presidential suite but swiftly renamed after her visit - and be served many of the items she requested during her stay.

This includes a photo book of ABBA, who were her favourite band, a bottle of Quelques Fleurs by Houbigant Paris, her favourite perfume, as well as other requests she made including forget-me-not flowers, and a stationary bike.

During their stay, guests will also be treated to afternoon tea at the Palm Court, along with her favourite tea of Rose Pouchong.

Guests will even be served the dinner she ate at the hotel, which was a fresh salad, king salmon, and a cinnamon biscotti soufflé.

Super fans who want to literally follow in her footsteps will have to find the cash first - the two-night package starts at $32,000 (£24,268).

The deal is running from now until December 15.

If you can't quite stretch to that, basic rooms start from $163 a night (£123).

Another place that Princess Diana once stayed is the City Palace of Jaipur - which opened to the public last year.

Starting from $1,000 (£780) a night, you could experience the hotel for yourself too.

A more budget-friendly option is to stay in a royal-themed caravan at Parkdean in Yorkshire this year.
