The 9th Earl Spencer makes a rare comment on his nephews’ ongoing rift.

Charles Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother, made a rare comment regarding his nephews, Prince William and Prince Harry’s ongoing rift during his latest appearance.

The 9th Earl Spencer opened the gates of the late Princess of Wales’s childhood home, Althorp House, on Friday to welcome members of Rock Choir – the world’s largest contemporary choir.

The choir recorded a new single due to be released in October with the aim to raise funds for the Diana Award to honour the launch of the charity 25 years ago.

Diana’s brother attended the rehearsals and spoke about how proud he is of his sister’s “lasting influence on young people, even years after her death”.

He also commented on William and Harry’s ongoing rift saying that their support for the charity and their mother’s legacy “is all that really matters in this situation”.

The Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex both attended the last Diana Award in March, however, Harry appeared via video link with William departing the ceremony before his appearance.

Earl Spencer told ITV: “They both recognise this is something of their mother’s and they both support that and that’s all that really matters in this situation.”

Prince Harry will be in New York next week for the charity’s 25th anniversary, just before he heads to London for the WellChild awards on September 30.

The Duke will join young people at the Concordia Annual Summit in New York to drive a global movement of young activists, from across the world for The Diana Award’s ‘Decade of Youth Wellbeing’.

The panel discussion with Harry and Dr Tessy Ojo, CBE, CEO of The Diana Award, will be led by insights from young people Chiara Riyanti Hutapea Zhang from Indonesia and Christina Williams from Jamaica who received The Legacy Award.

Spencer’s comments come after Harry’s recent trip back to the UK earlier this month to attend a memorial service for his late uncle, Lord Fellowes in Norfolk.

Harry reportedly stayed at Althorp House for his visit.

Lord Robert Fellowes was married to Jane Fellowes, one of Princess Diana’s sisters.
