Charles Spencer has
recalled an emotional meeting with his late sister Princess Diana in
a telling article he penned for the Mail on Sunday this week.
The Earl explained how he
introduced his sister to former BBC reporter Martin Bashir, before he realized
he was “deceived” by him after being shown forged bank statements
which suggested Diana was being betrayed by her staff.
Recalling his heartfelt
apology, he wrote: “After Mr Bashir left, I said, ‘I’m sorry, Duch – I’ve
wasted your time. What that man has just said doesn’t add up’, and highlighted
some of the discrepancies with what he’d told me before.
“She said, ‘Don’t worry,
Carlos [her name for me], it doesn’t matter – it was lovely to see you anyway.’

Diana was raised at Althorp House
Charles also revealed he felt
he was “groomed” by Mr. Bashir in order to get close to Diana in the
weeks leading up to her first meeting with the reporter.
In the telling account,
Charles claimed the “lies [Diana was exposed to] ensured that she came
into that Panorama interview with a very skewed and false view of the situation
she was in, having been lied to repeatedly.
“This led to her speaking
in a way that set her on a course where she was without due protection when she
needed it most.”

The site of her grave was described as “an oasis of calm”
Diana sadly passed away two
years after Charles first met with Mr. Bashir.
The Earl currently resides at
Althorp house with his wife Karen. Diana’s body is thought to be buried within
the grounds. The special place where she was laid to rest was
once described by her brother as “an oasis of calm.”
Charles enjoys sharing candid
updates with his fans from the beautiful Northamptonshire Estate where the late
Princess grew up.
Charles is a doting father to
two five lovely daughters Lady Kitty Spencer, Lady Amelia Spencer, Lady
Charlotte Diana Spencer, Lady Eliza Spencer and Lady Lara Spencer.
