Princess Diana's brother Earl Charles Spencer has finally broken his silence on hosting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at Althorp House this summer.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex - who returned to the UK for an "extended stay" in August, paid a visit to Harry's late mother's ancestral home in Northamptonshire, England.
Their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were also with their parents as the family of four paid a somber visit to Diana's gravesite.
Now, as the Sussexes continue to adjust in the UK six years after their controversial exit, Harry and William's uncle has lift the curtain on his private meeting with the couple and their kids in July, when Charles hosted them.
On Wednesday, September 23, during his appearance on the British talk show Lorraine, the ninth Earl of the Spencer family revealed, "Harry came to stay in the summer with his family, and that was lovely.”
“Although when I look, you know, it’s so sad. I saw the two little kids running around, and the sadness of not having… Can you imagine what a great-grandmother Diana would’ve been? Spoiling them rotten” he added.
This candid revelation from Earl Charles came just days after he received an official response from Buckingham Palace over his shocking claim against King Charles about Princess Diana’s death.
As per the excerpts of his new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister – which were released before the memoir hit the shelves, the Earl had claimed that his former brother-in-law – who is now king of Britain went “ballistic” over a phone call with him after Diana’s death.
The Earl claimed that, during that phone call, at one-point Charles told him that his sister (Diana) will be forgotten “soon enough”.
This shocking revelation from Earl Spencer beside many others, prompted a swift response from Palace.
In an official statement obtained by various outlets, the spokesperson on behalf of King Charles noted, "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss."
