Princess Diana’s brother shares rare intimate childhood photo

Charles Spencer, Princess Diana’s younger brother, is the 9th Earl Spencer. Spencer has often shared photos of his late sister and other members of his family to keep their memory alive. He has previously shared a portrait of his mother, which shows an uncanny resemblance to the late Princess Diana.

August 31, 2023, marked the 26th anniversary of the tragic death of Princess Diana. As many know, she died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. The 9th Earl honoured his late sister with a throwback photo of him and his elder sister on Twiter.

Charles Spencer shares a sweet childhood photo

On the anniversary of Diana’s death, her younger brother shared a photo of the two when they were children. In the sweet photograph, Diana towers over her brother in a pink and white striped dress, while Charles is wearing blue shorts and a polo shirt.

Charles Spencer previously shared this childhood photo back in 2020, mere days after he accused the BBC of sending him a ‘piecemeal apology’ after the media used fake documents to get ahold of Diana’s famous BBC interview in 1995.

Prince Harry shared his memory of the 25th anniversary of his mother’s death

In his bombshell memoir Spare, Prince Harry recounts the first time he took Meghan to Princess Diana’s grave. The former Princess of Wales is buried at Althorp, the Spencer family's ancestral home in Northamptonshire, England.

Her grave is on a small island in The Round Oval, an ornamental lake in Althorp Park’s Pleasure Garden. Her grave is private and not open to the public.

Prince Harry revealed that he first took Meghan to his mother’s grave in 2020, on the 25th anniversary of Diana’s death. He wrote in Spare:

No visit to this place was ever easy, but this one… twenty-fifth anniversary, and Meg’s first time. At long last, I was bringing the girl of my dreams home to meet mum.
