Lady Sarah McCorquodale, the older sister of the late Princess Diana and aunt to Prince Harry and Prince William, is recovering after a severe fall.
During an appearance on the “Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth” podcast on Friday, her brother, Charles Spencer, disclosed that Lady Sarah, 70, had been hospitalized following an accident while riding her horse.
“She continues to ride, and she experienced a significant fall last month, resulting in a prolonged hospitalization,” Spencer stated.
“I believe she was quite a challenging patient, as the lead doctor remarked to my brother-in-law, ‘She is quite a character, isn’t she?’” the 61-year-old said, referring to Sarah’s husband, Neil McCorquodale. “I interpret this as a suggestion that you could potentially take care of her.”
Lady Sarah McCorquodale, the sister of the late Princess Diana, has been hospitalized for an extended period, her brother Charles Spencer disclosed.
A close family friend informed People magazine that Lady Sarah is currently recovering.
Over the years, both Prince Harry and Prince William have maintained close relationships with their aunts, Lady Jane Fellowes and McCorquodale.
Diana was four and six years younger than Fellowes and McCorquodale. In 1997, the women accompanied the then-Prince Charles to Paris to return Diana’s body to the United Kingdom after her passing in a car accident at the age of 36.
Although the siblings have rarely publicly expressed their affection for their sister, they have demonstrated their support for Prince William and Prince Harry during pivotal events in their lives, including their royal weddings.

“Prince Harry has a close relationship with his aunts,” royal expert Shannon Felton Spence previously told Fox News Digital. “In a departure from tradition, the photographs released from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding and [their son] Archie’s christening included both of Diana’s sisters. This is a heartwarming gesture, as Harry has maintained a close relationship with them and has made the Spencers an integral part of Archie and Lili’s lives. It is a touching way to ensure that the late Princess of Wales’ remarkable legacy remains alive as we approach the coronation.”
“I believe there is a genuine and heartfelt desire on the part of the Spencers to preserve the late Princess of Wales’ remarkable legacy and ensure that she is not forgotten as we approach the coronation,” Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” previously told Fox
