Charles Spencer recently shared a rare glimpse into his childhood with Princess Diana by posting a black-and-white snapshot on Instagram. The photo, taken in the late '60s, features a young Charles and Diana smiling together while their mother, Frances Shand Kydd, stands behind them. Charles mentioned in the caption that he was around 3 years old at the time, with Diana being 5 or 6. He expressed his joy at the happiness captured in the family photo.
In the post, Charles also revealed a childhood nickname given to him by his mother, 'Buzz,' due to his seemingly endless energy. Diana and Charles were part of a family of five children, including two older sisters and an older brother who passed away shortly after birth.
Charles, known for his work as an author, historian, and podcast host, has been a staunch advocate for preserving Diana's legacy. He debunked some myths about their upbringing, clarifying that they never referred to Diana as 'Di' at home and that she was not as shy as commonly believed.
Reflecting on Diana's tragic death in 1997, Charles expressed his intense feelings of protectiveness towards her and his regret at not being able to prevent the accident. He described his emotions as a mix of anger and devastation, highlighting his deep bond with his late sister.
Charles Spencer's upcoming memoir, 'A Very Private School,' set to release on March 12, promises further insights into his childhood and experiences in boarding school. His openness about his family life and relationship with Princess Diana continues to captivate audiences and shed light on the personal side of the iconic royal figure.
