Princess Diana's Brother Charles Spencer Shares Throwback Photo From Their Childhood

The late Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, recently shared a throwback photo of the two of them from their childhood.

The Earl posted the picture on his Instagram account, where both siblings could be seen smiling at each other while sitting with their legs crossed on what appeared to be a window ledge.

Both the late Princess and her little brother wore matching puffer jackets and pants and matching shoes.

The black-and-white photo seemed to be in honor of the release of his new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which reflected the former Princess of Wales’ life through his lens until her tragic death in 1997.

Both siblings were very close before the death of Prince William and Prince Harry's mother in a car crash in Paris, France.

However, it seems like even death couldn't break the bond between the two of them, even after years.

The Earl claimed as much during a recent interview with People before his memoir was released on September 22, saying, “Yeah, there are moments when... I do feel Diana on my side in tricky moments."

“If I have to really go into something, a meeting where something really important is being sorted out or whatever, I always wear cuff links she gave me in the late ‘80s as a sort of memorial,” he continued.

“I had a cousin who died tragically by their own hand last year and I told the parents that I was wearing Diana’s cufflinks. Diana’s memory gives comfort to people even now,” he explained.

Elsewhere in the interview, he stated, “I have felt the spirit of Diana at times. Maybe it’s wishful thinking.”

“I think I’ll see her again [after death]? I don’t know,” he acknowledged.

In an interview with the BBC, Charles noted that the way his nephew and his wife, Meghan Markle, are being treated by the media carries the “echoes” of their response to his late sister.

When asked about whether he thought the late Princess would “identify” with the media scrutiny the Duke and Duchess of Sussex face, he responded, “If you look at an article in a tabloid about Diana or the couple that you were mentioning, Harry and Meghan, you know, they can be really, really unpleasant.”

“And I think it would be really beholden on people to learn from Diana's example,” he added.

"I'm not here to speak for Harry and Meghan, but for anyone who's being destroyed in this way daily,” he continued.

Charles also revealed that at times Diana was moved to tears and “really brought low by all that criticism.”

As a result, he thought it was a “pity” to witness “echoes of that now” in how Harry and his wife were being scrutinized.
