Princess Diana’s aristocratic family have been royal disruptors for centuries. Secret pacts, double-crossings, and extramarital affairs punctuate the Spencer family tree—from Sarah Churchill’s torrid relationship with Queen Anne (which inspired the 2018 film The Favourite), to Georgiana Cavendish, a charming Whig party campaign manager who was rumored to have kissed men in exchange for votes, and Raine Spencer, raised as a “social monster baby” by her mother, the novelist and socialite Barbara Cartland, who eventually became Diana’s stepmother.
Clever, charming, and fiery, much like Diana, her ancestors learned how to play the royal game—and then ripped up the rule book.
It is truly no wonder why Harry is behaving the way he does he comes from people who don’t follow rules and who put their desires first and foremost.
