Charles Spencer Calls Out Royal Family Over 'Lack of Care' for Prince Harry After Princess Diana's Death
Spencer says a more caring hand could have helped the 12-year-old prince after the funeral procession and train journey to Althorp.
- Earl Spencer released excerpts from his upcoming memoir, 'Swan Song: Diana, My Sister', claiming a 'lack of obvious care' for Prince Harry following Princess Diana's death left him without essential nurture.
- Spencer wrote that William and Harry 'had no privacy' during the 1997 funeral, with the 12-year-old Harry needing Diana's hugs but instead 'allowed to spin out of control' without calm and support.
- The Earl insisted to the BBC that King Charles sounded 'giddily elated — like a lottery winner' shortly after Diana's death, though Buckingham Palace responded that 'grief can cloud reason' regarding his recollections.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch publicly sided with the King, stating she is 'always on the side of His Majesty,' while a Buckingham Palace spokesperson told HuffPost on Thursday they had nothing further to add.
- Spencer described 'Swan Song', set for release on Sept. 22, as 'a brother's simple tribute to an extraordinary sister,' while Prince Harry recently made his first public appearance in Britain describing his return as 'eventful.
