Earl Charles Spencer, brother of Princess Diana, told the BBC on Sunday that Prince Harry and Meghan face media scrutiny similar to what his sister endured, which he described as a "cancerous influence." He noted that articles about both Diana and the couple can be "really unpleasant," urging people to learn from past mistakes. This comes amid Harry and Meghan's legal battles against British tabloids and their recent return to Britain, coinciding with Spencer’s book release titled “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” which includes claims about King Charles’s reaction after Diana’s death in 1997.

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.
