Charles Spencer, brother of Princess Diana, compared the media treatment of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to that of his late sister in a BBC interview promoting his new book "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister." He criticized the negative press they receive as being similar to what Diana faced, which he says was “unpleasant” and damaging. Spencer highlighted Diana’s sensitivity to criticism and noted similarities between her and Meghan, while also addressing Prince Charles' denial of having used harsh language about Diana in the past by asserting that his memories are accurate.

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.

Harry, we hear, was made aware of the bombshells coming in Spencer’s memoir, which comes out Tuesday, and headline-making excerpts of the tell-all that have been making headlines all week were not “a shock” to him.
Charles hit back at the claims in a statement about how “the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss.”
Spencer, meanwhile, doubled down during his conversation with the BBC, insisting he was “telling the truth” about the “monstrous” comments.
“I can tell you here and now, those are exactly the words he said,” he alleged.
