Earl Spencer says that he can see echoes of Princess Diana's treatment from the press in the way Harry and Meghan are scrutinised.

Watch: Diana's brother says press has 'cancerous influence' on Harry and Meghan's lives Earl Spencer told the BBC that there are notable similarities between the treatment his sister, Diana, Princess of Wales, received from the press and the current scrutiny faced by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He described how Diana was "brought low" by what he termed property disapproval of her, calling it a "pity" to see comparable patterns emerging in the lives of Harry and Meghan. Spencer urged observers to learn from Diana's experience, stating that anyone who feels "destroyed daily" by tabloid coverage is subjected to a "cancerous influence" on their life.
