Earl Charles Spencer, brother of the late Princess Diana, told the BBC on Sunday that the media's treatment of Prince Harry and Meghan is similar to what his sister faced. He warned about the need for lessons to be learned from Diana’s case, noting her death in 1997 after years of intrusive press coverage contributed to public reflection on the media’s role. Spencer expressed concern over the harmful impact this kind of media scrutiny can have on individuals' lives, paralleling Harry and Meghan's complaints when they stepped back from royal duties in 2020 due to a toxic media environment.

Story summary
Earl Charles Spencer told the BBC that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle) are experiencing media scrutiny similar to what his late sister, Princess Diana, faced. He warned that people should learn lessons from Diana's experience, given her death at age 36 in a 1997 car crash while being chased by photographers. Spencer noted that articles about both Diana and the Sussexes can be "really unpleasant" and cautioned that such criticism is a "cancerous influence." Harry and Meghan cited the toxic media environment as a reason for stepping back from royal duties and moving to the United States.
