Prince Harry has a seemingly sweet relationship with Princess Diana’s side of the family as his aunt and uncle turned up last night to support him at an Invictus Games event
Prince Harry’s relationship with Princess Diana’s family is rather sweet, which comes after they supported him at an Invictus Games event last night in London.
The Duke of Sussex, who stepped back from the Royal Family in 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle, returned to the United Kingdom this week for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which he co-founded in 2014. Meghan did not join Harry at the event, with the Royal Family also deciding against attending, despite getting invited.
However, Earl Charles Spencer and Lady Jane Fellowes, both siblings of the late Princess Diana, Harry’s mother, turned up to support their nephew at St Paul’s last night. And Harry gave his aunt and uncle warm hugs as they attended the event, with them looking content in each other’s company.

Despite the ongoing royal rift with the Windsors, Prince Harry has remained close to his mother’s side of the family. The Duke of Sussex is quite close to his aunt Lady Jane, who is the middle of the three sisters.
Lady Jane is four years older than Diana and has long been seen as a confidante and a steadying influence in Prince Harry’s life. And the Duke is also close to his other aunt, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, by all accounts.
“He clearly has quite a good relationship with Charles Spencer, Jane and Sarah on the maternal side,” historian Tessa Dunlop revealed previously in an interview with OK! from June 2023. She also added: “That side of the family seems to be better relations,” which alluded to how his relationship with the Spencers is better than his relationship with King Charles and Prince William at the moment.
The royal historian also pointed out that the idea that Harry has no family isn’t true. She said: “While all the focus is on Harry and Meghan not having any family or relations, he clearly does have relations with the Spencers. And in Spare he talks about his two aunts and uncle being there when he and Meghan visited Diana’s grave.”
This comes after it was announced that King Charles is too busy to reunite with his son during Harry’s brief trip to the UK. Soon after Harry touched down in London on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Duke said: “It, unfortunately, will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme. The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”
