Princess Diana’s brother claims 'lack of care' for Prince Harry after mom’s funeral caused him to 'spin out of control'
Page Six • • world
Key Points:
- Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, claims Prince Harry was "allowed to spin out of control" after Diana’s 1997 funeral due to a "lack of obvious care" for the then-12-year-old royal.
- Spencer expressed concern over Harry’s vulnerability during the funeral procession, describing him as "tiny, and slight, and bereft," and suggested Harry needed more nurturing to cope with the loss.
- The 9th Earl Spencer also alleged that King Charles made a harsh remark about Diana shortly after her death, saying, “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough,” a claim Buckingham Palace has denied.
- Spencer questioned King Charles’ role in Diana’s funeral, given their bitter divorce finalized a year earlier, and emphasized that Harry needed Diana’s comfort, which he was denied.
- The revelations come ahead of Spencer’s forthcoming book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," which is set to be released Tuesday.
