That Spencer, like his famous sister, would find romantic relationships especially unmanageable comes as little surprise given their home lives as children.

Spencer was not always the most generous brother to Diana. In 1993 he reportedly rescinded an offer he had made to let her use the Garden House, a four-bedroom property at Althorp. She had hoped to create a cozy escape from the pressures of London. The first letter Diana sent to Earl Spencer pleading her case was returned to her unopened. A second was never answered...
THOMAS SANCTON, our Paris bureau chief, has been piecing together the whereabouts of Henri Paul, the Ritz Hotel deputy security chief, in the hours before Paul took the wheel of the car in which he, Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed were killed.
