Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer has opened up about his sister’s tragic death.
Speaking on the ITV talk show Loose Women in honour of Mental Health Awareness Week, Charles got candid about grieving Diana’s death.
The late Princess’ brother said, “It’s such an amputation. It’s like the other guys were saying, you grow up with these people, they are your flesh and blood, they’re with you forever, and then they’re gone.”
Charles, who is the younger brother of Diana, said that the death of a sibling is “a really extraordinary thing.”
He also recalled the bond shared with Diana, saying, “For years after Diana died, I would think, ‘I must ring her and tell her something,’ because we shared the same sense of humor and you just realize, of course, that’s not going to happen.”
Charles Spencer also commented on his family dynamic, saying, “As your family naturally folds in on itself — you lose your parents.”
“I have two older sisters who I adore, they’re quite a lot older than me, so I don’t share my childhood with anyone anymore, and that’s a great loss you can never really put right,” Princess Diana’s brother added.
For those unaware, Princess Diana passed away on August 31, 1997 at the age of 36.
