I don’t wish them ill at all… but it was wrong of him to make her queen or give her official duties. If they had to marry, I think Camilla should’ve supported Charles from the background and done her own thing.He clearly adores Camilla and their relationship has stood the test of time with enormous bad publicity, media interest with criticism, every way they turned.
I like them and hope they are happy in their senior years.
He obviously is close to his aunts … when Archie was born the DM ran several huffy Articles on how they had seen the baby before William and Kate … and they were both in the Christening photo, one has a particularly natty hat. Weren’t they also supposed to have been at Lilibets as well?Does Harry mention his relationship with Diana’s family in Spare? I wonder what their relationship is like. I feel like they were barely mentioned in his book. Maybe they didn’t want to get involved in all the drama which I don’t blame them for tbh.
I wonder what they think about the hatred between William and Harry. I’m assuming they have a relationship with the both of them.He talks about one of Diana’s sisters turning up at his school on his birthday (which wasn’t very long after Diana’s death) and giving him a game boy or something (I can’t remember what the gaming thingy was called) and the sister telling him his mother had bought it for his birthday just before her death. He mentions visiting Diana’s grave with William on his uncles property. I can’t remember what else but there’s no hint of any discord when it comes to the Spencer’s. Only nice stuff.
I don’t think there’s hatred there… just a lot of sibling rivalry. Plus they seem like very different people. I get the sense Harry has gravitated towards them a lot more than William.I wonder what they think about the hatred between William and Harry.

He was caught out with that lie though as the gift was an XBox console he was given in 1997 but they didn’t actually come out until 2001!He talks about one of Diana’s sisters turning up at his school on his birthday (which wasn’t very long after Diana’s death) and giving him a game boy or something (I can’t remember what the gaming thingy was called) and the sister telling him his mother had bought it for his birthday just before her death.

Towards the end of the interview William starts sticking up for him telling the interviewer he wasn’t being fair to Harry. There was nothing wrong with the interaction between them as siblings and they were just being playful. Tbh I think things like this show there’s probably no way back for their relationship. It was a relatively playful conversation with no visible malice, but all Harry remembers is William laughing at him for being messy. When it gets to a point where you have so much resentment that all you see is the negativity and disregard any positives that came from an interaction it’s difficult to mend a relationship.I don’t think there’s hatred there… just a lot of sibling rivalry. Plus they seem like very different people. I get the sense Harry has gravitated towards them a lot more than William.
The current earl Spencer is weirdly down to earth. I remember watching a documentary on Diana and he said something along the lines of “the Spencer family are basically sheep farmers who got lucky”.
In total contrast to the RF who believe they are special and appointed by god. I wonder if that’s why Harry aligns with them more?
Interestingly, in Spare, Harry mentions how William threw him under the bus in an interview… they were living together at the time and William started telling the interview how messy Harry was etc. Harry couldn’t really understand why William did that, and attributes a lot of the blame for that rivalry on William.
I went and had a look at the interview he mentioned in YT, and you can see that actually, Harry was goading William too. It kinda confirmed the underlying feeling of lack of accountability Harry has for himself in the book.
The royal family centres on the belief that the position of monarch is special and holy. But only one person can be the monarch, and it’s not based on capability or talent, just sheer chance of birth. So it’s an environment that fosters rivalry and competition at its core. Small wonder siblings don’t get on.
Interview is here
Looking back, I don’t know how the press didn’t pick up on the tenseness between them. Looking back, it feels so obvious.
After years of dealing with Diana, I’d imagine they’ve perfected the art of just letting it all wash over them.I wonder what they think about the hatred between William and Harry. I’m assuming they have a relationship with the both of them.
Who was it who described DianaAfter years of dealing with Diana, I’d imagine they’ve perfected the art of just letting it all wash over them.
Didn’t one of them marry a 60 year old? I wouldn’t blame him for not wanting to go.Charles Spencer doesn't seem to be on good terms with some of his children so i'm not sure how much effort he'd make with his nephews.
Charles didn't go to two of his daughter's weddings.
Charles Spencer has 7 children by 3 different women, it would be a bit rich for him to judge someone's marriage lolDidn’t one of them marry a 60 year old? I wouldn’t blame him for not wanting to go.
That was Queenie, wasn’t it?Who was it who described Diana
" like a highly strung thoroughbred race horse"? I thought that sounded fairly apt!!
