Here is some news that will make smiles blossom.

A plan is in the works to build a memorial garden in honor of the late Princess Diana, according to BBC. The garden is expected to be completed in time for Aug. 31, 2017 -- the 20 anniversary of her death.

It will be located at Kensington Palace, where Prince William and Prince Harry lived with their mother. People reports that both princes still reside there when they are in London.

A spokesman for Kensington Palace confirmed that palace officials and management at Historic Royal Palaces -- the charity overseeing the project -- were exploring the plans, and that the duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry were being kept "informed."

If completed, this will be the fourth memorial in London to honor Diana. The other three 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.
