Harry and Meghan's media treatment echoes what happened to Diana, Earl Spencer tells BBC
Princess Diana's brother says she was "really brought low by all that criticism" and he saw her in "tears of despair".
Earl Spencer has told the BBC that the media treatment of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle mirrors the challenges Princess Diana faced, describing it as a "cancerous influence" in their lives. He urged people to learn from Diana's example, noting the sensitivity she displayed to criticism. The Sussexes have repeatedly criticized the media, returning to the UK six years after stepping down from royal duties.
Earl Spencer, who was in contact with King Charles when Diana died, claims King Charles said Diana's memory would be forgotten soon, an assertion disputed by the Palace. Earl Spencer, in his first interview since the Palace's response, maintains his account, stating he was "telling the truth."
