Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have seen the ugly side of British media through violent attacks, says uncle.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are defended by Earl Spencer, who recently has released a book on Princess Diana‘s life.

Speaking to BBC about his book ‘Swan Song,’ Charles Spencer said: “If you look at an article in a tabloid about Diana or the couple that you were mentioning, Harry and Meghan, you know, they can be really, really unpleasant. And I think it would be really beholden on people to learn from Diana’s example.

"I’m not here to speak for Harry and Meghan, but for anyone who’s being destroyed in this way daily, it must be such a cancerous influence in their life,” he noted.

Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
