Prince William and Harry’s aunt Lady Sarah McCorquodale has been hospitalized. Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer revealed that their sister was involved in a horse accident in recent months.
“She’s still riding, and she’s had a really bad fall last month and has been in hospital for a long time,” Earl Spencer shared on the “Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth” podcast. “I think, [she] was quite a handful as a patient, because the lead doctor said to my brother-in-law, ‘She’s quite a character isn’t she?’ ” he said, referring to Sarah’s husband Neil McCorquodale. “Which I think is code for, ‘Could you take her home?’”
Lady Sarah was close to Diana’s children as she and her brother attended the unveiling of Diana’s statue at Kensington Palace. She also attended the christening of Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Prince Archie.
Elsewhere in the podcast, Earl Spencer said it was “quite difficult” when “total strangers” come up to him and talk about where they were when Princess Diana died. “I’m sure that’s helpful to them, it’s not entirely helpful to everyone else,” he admitted.
The new update comes after King Charles is reportedly “physically sick with worry” over Prince Andrew’s new scandal, and there’s concern that his cancer treatment has left him “too frail” to discount with this new crisis, with sources saying: “It’s going to kill him.”
The former Duke of York “The King is utterly worn down by it. Just when he thinks the matter has settled, another revelation surfaces. It’s placing enormous strain on him. He’s doing his best to focus on his recovery and royal work, but the constant stress is really affecting his health,” a source told the outlet.
Reportedly, there’s even worry that things with Andrew could get worse. “The King feels boxed in – he can’t simply cut his brother off, yet Andrew’s behavior keeps casting a shadow over everything he’s trying to restore within the monarchy.”
Recently, royal insider Camilla Tominey reported that King Charles’ cancer is incurable. “The talk immediately is that he may die ‘with’ cancer, but not ‘of’ cancer following a rigorous treatment program,” she said in The Telegraph.
