Princess Diana's brother describes how it felt to 'lose an arm'

 

Charles Earl Spencer, Princess Diana's brother, recently opened out about what it was like to lose his sister in 1997.

In an interview with Loose Women, he described the entire situation as a "great loss," adding, "It's such an amputation."

because, "you grow up with these people, they are your flesh and blood, they're with you forever and then they're gone."

"You expect obviously first grandparents and then parents to go, and there's the awful tragedy you mentioned of children going, but siblings, it's a really extraordinary thing."

He went on to add, "because your instant thing for years after, after Diana died, I would think I must ring her and tell her something, because we shared the same sense of humour, and you just realise of course that's not going to happen."

"And then actually," that time comes when "your family naturally folds in on itself," he said.

Before ending, he said, "You lose your parents. I adore my two sisters, but they are much older than me, so I no longer have someone to spend my childhood with. And it's a huge loss that you'll never be able to compensate for."
