Diana, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry, was 36 when she was killed in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997.
She is buried on an island at the centre of an ornamental lake known as The Oval on the estate.
Floral tributes were left to the late princess outside the gates of Kensington Palace on Wednesday, with a banner reading: “It is hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember.”
Another tribute described the late princess as “Queen of our hearts”, while a floral tribute left outside the palace gates spelled out her name.
Respects have been paid on the anniversary at the site of the fatal crash, with people leaving flowers and messages on the bridge above the underpass where she was killed with lover Dodi Al Fayed.
Pictures of Diana also covered the Flame of Liberty, a replica of the torch of the Statue of Liberty which has become an unofficial memorial to the late Princess of Wales.
“Forever in our hearts," read a message with a Diana picture left by someone who identified herself as Monique from Luxembourg.
“Deja 25 ans (25 years already)," read another one of the cards left on the memorial.
Millions globally mourned the “people's princess", as she was described by then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, after her death in 1997.
She was one of the world's most photographed women and a high-profile supporter of humanitarian causes.
On Saturday, a black Ford Escort driven by Diana in the 1980s was sold at auction for £724,000.
