Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, is making new claims about how Prince Harry is treated in the aftermath of Princess Diana’s death. In excerpts reported by UK outlets, Spencer says he believed there was a “lack of obvious care” for Harry around the time of Diana’s funeral, and that Harry was “allowed to spin out of control.”

Both reports frame these statements as part of Spencer’s upcoming or recently published book, presenting them as claims rather than settled findings. The accounts focus on Spencer’s personal assessment and his view that royal handling at the funeral period did not meet what he considers expected standards of care. The outlets differ mainly in wording and emphasis—one highlights the “lack of care” while the other stresses the accusation that royals allowed Harry to “spin out of control.”

Neither source provides independent verification or detailed new evidence beyond Spencer’s assertions, and the reports do not indicate any official response from relevant royal representatives within the excerpts.
