Lady Sarah McCorquodale, the older sister of the late Princess Diana and aunt to Prince Harry and Prince William, is “on the mend” after suffering a hard fall.
During an appearance on the *Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth* podcast on Friday, her brother, Charles Spencer, revealed that Lady Sarah, 70, had been hospitalized following an accident while riding her horse.
“She’s still riding, and she’s had a really bad fall last month and has been in hospital for a long time,” Spencer said. “I think [she] was quite a handful as a patient, because the lead doctor said to my brother-in-law, ‘She’s quite a character, isn’t she?’” he added, referring to Sarah’s husband, Neil McCorquodale. “Which I think is code for, ‘Could you take her home?’”
A friend of the family told *People* magazine that Lady Sarah is currently “on the mend.”
Over the years, both Prince Harry and Prince William have remained close to their aunts, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale. Diana was four and six years younger than Fellowes and McCorquodale, respectively.
In 1997, the women accompanied the then-Prince Charles to Paris to bring Diana’s body back to the U.K. after her tragic death in a car accident at age 36.
While the sisters have rarely spoken out publicly about Diana, they have shown their support for Prince William and Prince Harry during some of the most important events of their lives, including their royal weddings.
“Harry is very close with his aunts,” royal expert Shann noted.
In a break from tradition, the photos released from Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, as well as their son Archie’s christening, included both of Diana’s sisters. “It’s lovely Harry has continued a close relationship with them and made the Spencers such an important piece of Archie and Lili’s lives. It’s really such a touching way to keep their ‘Granny Diana’ present in their lives,” said Christopher Andersen, author of *The King*.
He added, “I think there is a genuine, heartfelt desire on the part of the Spencers to maintain the late Princess of Wales’ remarkable legacy to make sure she’s not forgotten as we approach the coronation.”
