Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer compares Kate Middleton conspiracy theories to sister’s tragedy

Is history doomed to repeat itself?

Charles Spencer, younger brother to the late Princess Diana, officially weighed in on all the conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Kate Middleton.

“I do worry about what happened to the truth,” Spencer, 59, told the BBC in a teaser clip for his sit-down interview on Sunday.

In the clip, reporter Laura Kuenssberg pressed Spencer for his thoughts on how the current level of the “online kind of conspiracy” compared to the level of “press intrusion” surrounding the death of his sister Diana, who died in a car crash in August 1997 at the age of 36 while fleeing photographers in Paris.

“I think it was more dangerous back in the day,” Earl Spencer told Kuenssberg. “I think if I look back to ’97 and Diana’s death, I think the circumstances of her death [were] so shocking that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider more carefully what it couldn’t, not because they had a moral judgment but because it was unacceptable.”

Since his sister’s death, Spencer — along with Diana’s sons Princes Harry and William — has been very vocal about the media’s alleged role in the late princess’ death.
