Endured when they were young. Heres laura kuenssberg. I always believed the press would kill her in the end, but not even i could imagine that they would take such a direct hand in her death. Charles spencers fury at the way the press treated his sister, diana, made him famous. It is a point to remember. His anger at her funeral, raw, after years of intrusion and pain.

And look at that, that silhouette with the domes, the minaretsjust popping up above the horizon. That is dolmabahce palace. Thats where the founder of the republic, Musta
Whatever family they are born into. Charles spencer also said the press attention suffered by his sister was more dangerous than the attention online focused on kate, the current princess of wales. Princess dianas brother was speaking in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow on the bbc s sunday with laura kuenssberg. Earlier i spoke to graham satchell, who has been reviewing the material in the interview and asked him what was the main thrust of earl spencers comments. Well, this was a searingly honest interview with earl spencer, and at times difficult to watch, to be honest. He has written a book about his experiences of his childhood, particularly at boarding school, and he talks about suffering shocking levels of violence from the age of eight and being sexually abused from the age of ii. He also talks in some detail about his experience at home with his sister, princess diana, and particularly suffering at the hands of a violent nanny, nanny forster. And this is what he had to say
