- Charles, 9th Earl Spencer, said Diana would wait on the doorstep for her mom to visit—"but she never came."
Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, opened up about the childhood trauma he and his sister shared after their parents, John and Frances Spencer, separated in 1969. Speaking to the Sunday Times, Charles, 9th Earl Spencer, said he underwent "agonizing and horrible" work in therapy in order to deal with the lasting effects of his childhood.
"I’ve been in and out of therapy for 20 years. I did a lot of very profound work on my unhappy childhood last year, which was agonising and horrible," Charles continued. "I don’t say that out of self-pity, it was intriguing to me that it was so desperately unpleasant. But the result has been cathartic. Coming out the other side has been good."
