Prince William and Prince Harry’s aunt, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, was seriously injured in a horse riding accident, as disclosed by her brother. Earl Spencer, Lady Sarah’s sibling and Princess Diana’s brother, mentioned the incident during a podcast interview, stating that she had a hospital stay after a significant fall.
Lady Sarah, 70 years old, is Diana’s elder sister and had a romantic relationship with Prince Charles before Diana. Earl Spencer described her as a spirited individual, mentioning that she is still actively horse riding. He shared that she had a recent severe fall, resulting in an extended hospitalization. However, specific details about her injuries were not provided.
Lady Sarah, who wed Neil McCorquodale in 1980, is a mother of three children named Emily, George, and Celia. She had a close relationship with Diana and even served as a lady-in-waiting for her. Additionally, Lady Sarah supported Harry by attending his military graduation and various family events, including Diana’s funeral and the unveiling of a statue in her honor.
Earl Spencer, Diana’s brother, is currently the Earl Spencer and oversees the family’s estate. He recently hosted Prince Harry during his visit to the UK. Earl Spencer, a father of seven who separated from his third wife Karen, has been a significant figure in William and Harry’s lives since Diana’s passing.
Lady Sarah has actively participated in family events, including the christenings of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as well as supporting Harry at the Invictus service. The Spencer family, led by Charles Spencer, maintains a strong connection to the royal family, particularly through their ties to Diana and her sons, William and Harry.
