Speaking at a charity event at the weekend, Charles Spencer said he was the “first beneficiary” of Diana’s legendary kindness to children as she doted on him from the moment he was born.

This love and care only intensified when Charles joined Diana at school in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, with Earl Spencer recalling Diana’s all-consuming concern on his first day of kindergarten.

“The first day I was there, the head teacher was teaching Diana in her class and she said she was impossible, she was wriggling around and not able to pay attention,” he said.

“The teacher told Diana, ‘Fine, go and check on him now,’ and she left the class and came to my classroom and came back and said to the headmistress ‘He’s fine!’ and sat down. She always had this affinity for young children.”
