Princess Diana's Siblings: Meet The Spencer Family

Princess Diana was one of five children born to parents John Spencer and Frances Shand Kydd.

Diana, Princess of Wales, grew up with her siblings in Norfolk before they moved to Althorp, the Spencer family home in Northamptonshire.

Her sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, and her brother, Charles, 9th Earl Spencer, have stayed close to Prince William and Prince Harry over the years.

Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Diana's eldest sibling, was born in 1955. She has been married to Neil Edmund McCorquodale since 1980, and together they have three children and seven grandchildren. Lady Sarah's connection to the royal family might have played a role in Diana becoming a princess.

Diana's older sister Sarah dated Prince Charles for a short while in the late '70s.

Even though their relationship didn't last, Sarah played matchmaker and introduced her younger sister to the prince. She jokingly said to 'The Guardian' in 1981, "I introduced them. I'm Cupid."

When Diana was 16, her sister Jane married Robert Fellowes, who at the time was Queen Elizabeth II's assistant private secretary. Diana served as a bridesmaid at their wedding. Jane's marriage to Fellowes kept the sisters physically close, as the Fellowes family resided in Kensington Palace, where Diana lived with her then-husband Prince Charles and their two sons.

The couple has three children and five grandchildren. According to 'People' magazine, Jane and Diana didn't talk much after Diana's divorce from Charles. Jane hasn't spoken publicly about her sister's death. However, she did take part by giving a reading at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding on May 19, 2018.

Charles Spencer, the youngest of Diana's siblings, was born on May 20, 1964. He's been quite visible in the public eye, almost as much as his sister. From 1986 to 1995, he worked as an on-air correspondent for NBC News and also served as a reporter for Granada Television from 1991 to 1993.

Charles has a multifaceted career, including journalism, book writing, and contributing to various publications. He's authored nine books and shared his experiences in publications like 'The Guardian' and 'Vanity Fair.' In March 2024, he released "A Very Private School: A Memoir," detailing his childhood trauma. Charles has been married three times and has seven children, with his youngest daughter named in honor of Diana.
