Charles Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana, divulges a terrible family secret.

When Charles Spencer first came forward as a child survivor of sexual abuse, he was forty-two years old.

Princess Diana’s younger brother, who is currently 59 years old, first revealed the information to a therapist when he “hit rock bottom.” The 9th Earl Spencer is revealing the purported trauma he experienced in his new memoir, “A Very Private School,” which was published seventeen years later.

He said, “I was doing a 10-day course of very deep introspection and therapy,” to News . “My therapist asked each of us to whisper one secret to her that you had never shared with anyone. I told him in a whisper that an adult had molested me sexually when I was a child. I recall him appearing astonished, even though he had heard everything. Then he pulled me aside.
