Princess Diana has been remembered by her brother Charles Spencer on the 27th anniversary of her death<\/p>\n
The royal was killed in a Paris car crash on 31 August aged 36, and her 60-year-old sibling, the 9th Earl Spencer, paid an emotional tribute to her on social media on Saturday. (31.08.24)<\/p>\n
He shared an image that showed various photographs and newspaper clippings focusing on Diana \u2013 including an article about her christening and a snap of the late royal playing outside as a young girl.<\/p>\n
But Charles refrained from including a caption on the moving post.<\/p>\n
He is the youngest of five children born to John Spencer and Frances Shand Kydd.<\/p>\n
\nCharles grew up with his three older sisters \u2013 Sarah, the eldest, born in 1955, followed by Jane in 1957 and Diana in 1961. <\/p>\n
\nHe also had an older brother named John, who was born in 1960 but died just hours later.<\/p>\n
\nCharles admitted after Diana\u2019s death he was haunted by the feeling he could have done more to save her from her tragic end.<\/p>\n
\nHe told People: \u201cYou always think, God, I wish I could\u2019ve protected her. It was just… it was devastating.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI always felt intensely protective towards her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCharles famously gave the eulogy at Diana\u2019s funeral on 6 September, 1997, at which Sir Elton John, 77, sang his now iconic version of \u2018Candle in the Wind\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nHe said he was acting as the \u201crepresentative\u201d of a \u201cfamily in grief, in a country in mourning, before a world in shock\u201d, before hailing Diana as the \u201cvery essence\u201d of compassion, duty, style and beauty \u2013 and saying she was the \u201cmost hunted person of the modern age\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nAlong with Charles\u2019 online tribute, thousands of tourists and royal fans laid flowers and photos of Diana on Saturday at the gates of her former residence Kensington palace.<\/p>\n
\nDiana was killed in the Paris tunnel crash alongside her partner Dodi Fayed, while her sons Prince William, then 15, and Harry, who was 12 at the time, were on holiday with their father, then Prince Charles at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
