Charles Spencer Breaks Silence on Princess Diana’s 26th Death Anniversary as Prince Harry Exploits Her Name in New Netflix Series

The world is observing the 26th death anniversary of Princess Diana today, remembering one of the most beloved British royal figures.

Princess Diana's tragic passing in 1997 due to a car crash in Paris left not only the British people but also individuals worldwide grieving.

Even after all these years, her memory remains etched in the hearts of many.

Fondly known as the people's princess, Diana left behind her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

On this solemn occasion, Charles Spencer, Diana's brother, took a moment to honor his sister's memory.

He shared a poignant photo on his personal Instagram account, capturing a tender moment from the past.

The image features a young Viscount seated alongside his father, Earl Spencer, and his late sister, Princess Diana.

It was taken during a celebration at Althorp, the Spencer family's estate, in the summer of 1989, commemorating their father's 65th birthday earlier that year.

Last year, Charles Spencer had also shared a picture showcasing flowers and postcards left at Althorp house, Diana's childhood home and final resting place.

These tributes were placed on a simple black bench situated beneath a silhouette picture of Princess Diana.

Visitors from around the world left these floral arrangements as a mark of respect for the late princess.

While Charles Spencer paid tribute to his sister, Prince Harry, Diana's youngest son, faced accusations of exploiting his mother's name for financial gain in his new Netflix series.

Many believe that Harry is capitalizing on Diana's legacy by sharing his personal experiences, particularly in relation to his military service in Afghanistan, which he claims triggered trauma from his mother's untimely death.

In the Netflix docuseries, Harry opens up about the impact his time in the military had on his mental health.

Speaking to the camera, the Duke shares, “I can only speak from my personal experience, my tour of Afghanistan in 2012, flying Apaches.

Somewhere after that, there was an unravelling, and the trigger to me was actually returning from Afghanistan, but the stuff that was coming up was from 1997, from the age of 12.”

As footage of a young Harry viewing floral tributes at Kensington Palace appears on the screen, he continues, “Losing my mum at such a young age, the trauma that I had, I was never really aware of.

It was never discussed.

I didn't really talk about it, and I've suppressed it like most youngsters would have done.

But then when it all came fizzing out, I was bouncing off the walls.

I was like, what's going on here?

I was feeling everything rather than being numb.”

While it is understandable for Harry to address his pain and trauma, some question his motives for repeatedly referencing Diana in his series.

By mentioning his mother, he undoubtedly attracts more attention and potentially increases the popularity of his show.

Critics argue that he is using Diana's name as a means to excuse his own behavior and gain publicity.

This raises the question of whether Harry spoke about Diana in this manner before his relationship with Meghan.

Additionally, Harry has previously mentioned that he does not have vivid memories of his mother, despite being shown private family photos.

Instead, he claims to have a picture of Diana on his desk at school, with Archie, his son, playing with it as he refers to her as “Pat the grandma I'll never meet.”

Interestingly, the framed photo of Diana is a magazine glamour shot, lacking the personal touch of a candid family photograph.

This has led some to believe that Harry and Meghan are strategically using Diana's image to boost viewership for their Invictus series.
