  Charles Spencer became an NBC  commentator from 1986 to 1995.  Does he really think a 22 year old would have gotten a position with the leading US network if he hadn't been the brother of Princess Diana?PLEASE!!!

  My hot take is that I never thought Earl Spencer's eulogy was brilliant or even very flattering to Diana. I always felt it was a backhanded way to call her unintelligent and a bit crazy. He also made this bold statement that he and the other Spencers would be a presence in William and Harry's life to make sure that Diana's vision for their upbringing was carried out. He then proceeded to have nothing to do with his nephews.

  I'm looking forward to hearing about this book without having to give Charles Spencer my money. You do such a great job with the readings!

  He is so in love with his eulogy, he still can’t shut up about it 30 years later. He peaked that day. “On her behalf?” I don’t think so dude. She wasn’t even speaking to you.

  My siblings would tell the most inaccurate story of my life if they were asked to write it. Cripes.

  He says he was looking out for his nephews...not wanting them to walk behind her coffin...but then mentions  her eating disorder in his eulogy while his 13 and 15 year old nephews are sitting there. Wow...the mind boggles.

  He started this crap 30 years ago at her funeral when he said &quot;William and Harry needed protection from the royals&quot;...in a round about way.<br>At the time I didn&apos;t see it for what it was, now I realize he was being completely disrespectful to her memory and her sons. <br>Diana and Charles were moving on with their lives and deciding to parent their sons in a responsible way instead holding grudges at the time of her death.

  Charles “I am not going to profit off of my sister’s death” Spencer is an arrogant hypocrite.

  I have felt for a long time that Diana&apos;s family got away with very little criticism for the way Diana&apos;s life turned out. Her grandmother was a confident of Queen Elizabeth and encouraged an 18 year old Diana to marry Charles a much older man. They would also have known about his relationship with Camilla because of their connections. That was a lot for a young fairly sheltered 18 year old to take on.
