25 Sep
Summary
- Earl Spencer wishes he could have done more to help Diana with her public life.
- Security concerns prevented Diana from living at Althorp's Garden House.
- Spencer now shares his story about Diana in his new memoir.
Nearly three decades after Princess Diana's passing, her brother Charles Spencer has spoken about his relationship with her and shared his personal reflections.
Spencer admitted he wishes he could have provided more assistance to his sister as she navigated her demanding public life. He noted that he did support her during her final years, even helping her win a libel case against a newspaper, but now questions if more could have been done.
Addressing persistent rumors, Spencer refuted the assertion that he refused to offer Diana a home at the Spencer family estate, Althorp, following her 1996 divorce from Prince Charles. He explained that while Diana had requested the Garden House, local police determined it was not secure enough for her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.
Spencer's memoir, "Swan Song," released on September 22, 2023, offers further details about their childhood and difficult family history, including accounts of his interactions with King Charles III regarding Diana's funeral procession and the hours after her death.
The 9th Earl Spencer finds comfort in Diana's memory, stating he feels her presence during significant moments and continues to wear cufflinks she gifted him in the late 1980s as a tribute.
