Harry and Meghan Need Protection to Avoid Diana’s Ordeal, Her Brother Spencer Says

Spencer said the pair face media treatment similar to Diana’s and cited Harry’s status as fifth in line to the throne.

  • On Sunday, Charles Spencer told the BBC that Prince Harry and Meghan should receive official security protection in Britain, citing Harry's position as fifth-in-line to the throne and his military service.
  • Spencer warned that tabloid treatment of the couple could be "really, really unpleasant," arguing it was "beholden on people" to learn from the preventable circumstances surrounding his sister Princess Diana's 1997 death.
  • Promoting his book "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," Spencer accused King Charles of sounding "giddily elated" hours after Diana's death, while the King responded that grief can "cloud reason" and affect judgment.
  • Harry and Meghan recently returned to Britain, ending their six-year residency in the US, which complicates matters for the King as he continues cancer treatment.
  • These security concerns follow Harry's criticism of the government's decision to strip his family of automatic police protection after he quit royal duties in 2020, a legal battle now under review.
