Earl Spencer compares Harry and Meghan's media treatment to Diana's experience

Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, has said that Prince Harry and Meghan face the same kind of harmful press attention that his sister experienced. He gave the interview to BBC presenter Laura Kuenssberg at his Althorp estate. Spencer described the media coverage as a "cancerous influence" in Harry and Meghan's life. He said tabloid articles about them can be very unpleasant. He also said that Diana was badly hurt by media criticism during her lifetime. Diana died in a car crash in 1997, which was partly caused by photographers chasing her car. Spencer said it is a pity to see the same pattern repeating now. He added that he supports both of Diana's sons equally and would help either of them if they needed it.
