What Does Harry’s Bond with the Spencer Family Mean?
Sources confirm that Prince Harry is still in touch with some of his family members, the Spencers, Princess Diana’s relatives. Even after the Sussexes moved to the US, they’ve remained close with the Spencer family. Recently, Prince Harry flew to the UK to attend his uncle Lord Robert Fellowes’ memorial service.
He stayed with his uncle Charles Spencer at Althorp House. Former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond shared her insights with OK!, explaining Earl Spencer’s remark, ‘Diana is home,’ when her coffin arrived at Althorp. He reflected his commitment to honouring Diana’s wish to support William and Harry in experiencing life’s various aspects.
Bond highlighted, “Quietly, behind the scenes, it is obvious that the Spencer family have kept the communication channels open with Harry and that their affection for him is reciprocated.” She suggested that Harry likely values having an anchor in the UK, which, for now, seems to be with his aunts and uncle.
Additionally, a royal expert noted that despite both royal brothers attending their uncle’s funeral, they managed to avoid an ‘awkward’ encounter. The expert observed that the lack of interaction between the two brothers highlights the importance of Prince Harry’s connection with the Spencers.
Bond commented that it is beneficial for Harry to maintain some ties with his UK family, even if reconciliation with the Windsor side might be a distant possibility or possibly unfeasible. How will it affect the Spencers and the Sussexes in the long run? Let us see. For more updates on the royal family, keep checking Soap Opera Daily! What do you think?
