Princess Diana, brother Charles relationship limited to ‘Wimbeldon tickets’

Charles Spencer was not a part of Princess Diana’s final years.

Princess Diana’s brother, who has recently launched a book on the life of his elder sister, was nowhere to be seen days before her death.

Former royal Butler Paul Burrell tells Piers Morgan Uncensored: “They barely spoke. He was not part of her world.”  

Speaking about Earl’s Diana memoir, Swan Song, he said: “I’d think those last five years . . .  are pretty vague in the book because he knows nothing about them. 

“She said, ‘My family only want me when they want the best seats in the best restaurants or want to sit in the Royal Box at Wimbledon,’” bureau said of Diana as he explained her relationship with Charles Spencer.

This comes as the Earl suffered a legal blow after Piers Morgan called out an error in facts. The ‘Uncensored’ host had threatened a legal action after the Earl mixed up the dates for his employment at The Sun and The Mirror.

Spencer apologised for the mistake but maintained that his conversation with Piers was accurate. Despite it, the publisher is not happy with the situation.

“This has become much bigger than Piers,” a publishing source told Rob Shuter. “The question everyone is asking is: Who fact-checked this? At best, this is deeply embarrassing. At worst, it could become a legal nightmare.”
