What Earl Spencer Said About Harry and William’s Response to Diana Eulogy

Prince Harry was "very supportive" of the eulogy for Princess Diana that famously criticized royal commitment to "duty."

Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, revealed in an interview that Prince Harry has expressed strong support for the eulogy he delivered at his sister's 1997 funeral. Spencer said he could not recall Prince William commenting on the funeral oration. Diana's eulogy, which criticized the monarchy, was received as a swipe at royal protocol in defense of her divorce from Prince Charles.

Spencer's nephew, Harry, is expected to release a tribute documentary marking the 30th anniversary of Diana's death in August 2027, while there are no known projects about William. Spencer, in his new book, claimed he opposed William and Harry walking behind Diana's coffin and questioned Charles' decision.
