Charles Spencer, known for being Princess Diana's brother, has a total of seven children. However, with most of them now grown adults living apart from him, his 90-room mansion must feel quite empty. But things are about to change as Charles has recently announced his heartwarming intention to adopt a puppy. In a touching video, the Earl can be seen visiting an animal shelter, surrounded by energetic puppies who may soon find their forever home with him. A couple of the puppies couldn't contain their excitement and playfully jumped on Charles, while two others engaged in a playful chewing session with his sleeve.
Charles shared the video with a caption expressing his excitement about welcoming one of the dogs to his home. Soon, many of his followers were enchanted by the adorable video and suggested that he adopt more than just one of the puppies. Charles, who is 59 years old, has a youngest child named Charlotte Diana, whom he shares with his wife, Lady Karen Spencer. During their yearly Easter egg hunt, Charles and Charlotte enjoyed some quality time together. Charlotte, dressed in pajamas, riding boots, a black coat, and a matching hat, rode a white pony up to a gate post in front of their family residence, Althorp House. They collected an egg before moving to the other side and grabbing another one. Turning to the camera, Charlotte humorously remarked, "I'm relieved I didn't go without a saddle."
Charles emphasized his parental protectiveness by sharing his joy in doing the school run with his 11-year-old daughter. He described her as funny and entertaining, although she had grown tired of his repeated question about any unusual teachers at school. With a hint of annoyance, she would respond, "We have already discussed this." Nevertheless, Charles remains vigilant about his daughter's safety, which stems from his own past experiences at boarding school. In a segment of his book published in the Mail on Sunday, Charles revealed that he had been a victim of sexual abuse by a teacher. He mentioned an unspoken ranking system among the boys targeted by the teacher, who would select a different boy every semester for sexual activities.
The boys, lacking feminine affection and craving attention and care, were captivated by her and under her complete influence. Charles also recounted being physically attacked by the school's Latin teacher with the spikes of a cricket shoe. Reflecting on his time at the school, he described it as a deeply disturbing ordeal, acknowledging that many of his classmates carried emotional scars from their experiences at Maidwell Hall.
Earl Spencer expressed regret for the negative experiences he and others mentioned in the book had endured.
