Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, might have grown indifferent to his royal family. However, he had got another equally closely-knit family who has had his back over the decades. With his paternal family turning him down on various occasions, the Duke has only grown closer to his maternal family. The Spencers. Even so, with his high-profile battle going on against the Mirror Group of Newspapers, Uncle Charles Spencer has revealed whose grounds he is standing on. 

No one understands how the newspapers did the Windsors badly, more than Charles Spencer, brother to Princess Diana. Right from the controversial BBC interviews to the tragic death of the Princess, he has witnessed it all. After having supported his sister throughout his life, the Earl is currently making his support to Princess Diana’s youngest, no secret. As Prince Harry made his fight against the vile tabloids of the UK, Uncle Spencer has shared some tweets in support of his nephew.

On Wednesday, the Earl gave a staunch reply to one of the Daily Mail columnists, Amanda Platell. The journalist evidently called out the Duke as he gave his testimony against the tabloid giant at High Court. Whereas the columnist called out to the Duke asking if he was still obsessed with his former girlfriend, Chelsy Davy. The user pointed out how the Duke mentioned Davy’s name about 118 times. Meanwhile, he named his own wife, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex only a handful of times. Scoffing at the Prince, she exclaimed that such a gesture by the Prince perfectly explains why “Meg’s didn’t show up!

Replying back to the Daily Mail contributor, Charles Spencer took the hit by shaming the columnist. He revealed how the last time he talked on terms with the writer, she was guilty of libeling Spencer as her employer at the Daily Mail. Having turned sides, the Earl labeled it as “Pathetic” to see how people swap parties.

The Earls’ words of support come at a time the duke needed them the most. The Prince was reportedly, almost in tears while giving his testimony the other day.
