Princess Diana’s Brother Speaks Out on Media Treatment of Kate Middleton
In a recent interview with the BBC, Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, addressed the current media attention surrounding Catherine, the Princess of Wales, and compared it to the treatment his late sister received before her tragic death.
Spencer was asked about the dangers of online conspiracy theories and press intrusion in relation to both Diana and Kate Middleton. He expressed his belief that the media was more dangerous back in the day, citing the shocking circumstances of Diana’s death in 1997 as a turning point for the industry.
Since Diana’s passing, Spencer has been vocal about condemning the media for interfering in his sister’s life. While the driver of the car in which Diana was killed was found responsible for the crash, the paparazzi following her were also blamed for their role in the tragedy.
The media’s interest in the Princess of Wales has not waned, even with a new royal holding the title. Kate Middleton has been making headlines recently as she recovers from abdominal surgery away from the public eye. A recent photo released by Middleton was deemed manipulated by news agencies, leading to a photo kill notice being issued.
Middleton has since apologized for editing the photo, and Instagram has labeled it as an altered image. The scandal has only added to the challenges facing the royal family, with Spencer expressing concern about the truth being distorted in the media.
As Spencer promotes his new memoir, “A Very Private School,” he continues to advocate for transparency and honesty in media coverage. The royal family has yet to comment on the situation, but the controversy surrounding Kate Middleton’s photo scandal remains a topic of discussion in the public eye.
