Prince Harry Reaches Out After Uncle's Death

Lord Robert Fellowes, the late Queen Elizabeth II's private secretary and brother-in-law to Princess Diana, passed away at the age of 82 on July 29. Fellowes served as a crucial advisor during a tumultuous period for the monarchy, notably during the 'annus horribilis' of 1992, and was instrumental in crafting the Queen's first address following Diana's death. His passing has deeply affected the Spencer family, prompting Prince Harry to reach out to relatives, including his aunt Lady Jane and cousin Charles Spencer, who praised Fellowes on social media as an exceptional man of humor and integrity. The actor Andrew Havill, who portrayed Fellowes in Netflix's The Crown, also paid tribute, highlighting his dedication as a public servant. Fellowes had a long-standing relationship with the royal family and was married to Lady Jane for over 40 years, with three children who are cousins to Princes William and Harry. The family is expected to gather for a memorial service as they navigate this significant loss.
