Princess Diana's Brother Finds It "Quite Difficult" When "Total Strangers" Trauma Dump on Him About His Sister's Death

Princess Diana died in a tragic car accident on August 31, 1997, but 28 years later, her brother Charles, Earl Spencer, still has people venting to him about her death. In a new interview on Gyles Brandreth's podcast, "Rosebud," the earl spoke candidly about the impact Diana's death has had on him, but also the public as a whole.

"I tell you what I do find quite difficult," he shared. "It probably sounds ungracious but occasionally total strangers come up and feel they must tell me where they were when they heard that she died." Earl Spencer, 61, added, "I’m sure that’s helpful to them, it’s not entirely helpful to everyone else."
