The pristine Caribbean beach where Diana, Princess of Wales once played in the sand with infant princes William and Harry receives few visitors these days.
Located on Barbuda, thirty miles north of its much better known sister island of Antigua, the K-Club luxury beach resort once favored by the most famous Royal princess in modern history lies in ruins.
But that could be about to change in drastic fashion after the island was visited by Robert de Niro, the Hollywood star who hopes to put Barbuda’s brief love affair with the late Princess firmly on the international tourist map.
De Niro’s ambitious plan to redevelop the remote paradise hideaway will be decided by the West Indies island’s divided community at a public meeting on Monday.
K-Club is formally owned by the Italian handbag designer Mariuccia Mandelli, one-time doyenne of the Krizia label.
