Diana's brother: She'd be 'happy' if she'd never married Charles

Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, recently shared his belief that his sister would have experienced greater happiness had she not married into the British royal family. When asked by Tina Brown about Diana's hypothetical life without her royal marriage, Spencer's concise response was simply "happy."

This sentiment comes as Spencer's deeply personal memoir, "Swan Song," gains attention. The book delves into his relationship with Diana and their shared childhood. He also offered his perspective on life within the monarchy, contrasting the experience of those born into it versus those who marry in.

Spencer suggested that marrying into the royal family presents unique difficulties. He noted that the institution operates with a "very specific" way of thinking. He reflected on the struggles faced by wives who have married into the royal family, implying it is a more arduous path than growing up within its confines.

Diana married Prince Charles in 1981, becoming a global figure. Their marriage, which produced Princes William and Harry, ended in separation in 1992 and divorce in 1996. Diana tragically died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 at the age of 36.
