斯宾塞伯爵指媒体对待哈里梅根如当年戴妃Earl Spencer Compares Media Treatment of Harry and Meghan to Diana

查尔斯·斯宾塞伯爵在位于奥尔索普庄园接受BBC记者劳拉·昆斯伯格（Laura Kuenssberg）专访时表示，翻阅小报针对戴安娜王妃以及哈里与梅根的报道时，会发现那些内容“极其令人不快”。他认为公众应当吸取戴安娜当年的教训，并表示自己并非代表哈里和梅根发言，但对于任何每天承受这种攻击的人而言，这种报道方式在其生活中无疑具有“毒瘤般的影响”。

Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg at his Althorp estate for a BBC interview, Earl Charles Spencer observed that tabloid coverage targeting Diana, Princess of Wales, alongside Prince Harry and Meghan, could be exceptionally unpleasant. Spencer emphasized that it would be beholden on people to learn from his late sister's example. While clarifying that he was not speaking directly on behalf of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, he stated that enduring such relentless daily attacks represents a destructive, cancerous influence in anyone's life.

斯宾塞伯爵指出，小报媒体对哈里与梅根的报道方式与当年对待其胞姐戴安娜的经历存在呼应。他回顾称，戴安娜生前极易受到批评影响，媒体报道曾令她陷入极度沮丧。他表示，看到同样的媒体对待方式如今在侄子哈里王子及其妻子梅根身上重现，令人感到十分遗憾。

Spencer noted that the relationship between the British press and the Sussexes carries clear echoes of the treatment his sister experienced prior to her death. He recounted how Diana had been brought low by persistent press scrutiny and was deeply sensitive to media criticism. Reflecting on the contemporary media coverage surrounding his nephew Prince Harry and Meghan, Spencer expressed regret at witnessing those same patterns repeating themselves in the present day.

在回忆胞姐戴安娜王妃生前所承受的舆论压力时，斯宾塞伯爵透露，自己曾亲眼目睹戴安娜因媒体报道带来的严苛批评而流下绝望的泪水。戴安娜于1981年与当时的查尔斯王子结婚，直至1997年8月31日在巴黎车祸中遇难前，始终处于巨大的媒体关注焦点之中。斯宾塞回顾称，自己在1997年戴安娜的葬礼悼词中曾指责媒体在进行一场旨在击垮她的持久战，并表示报业当时感受到了她真诚善良品质所带来的威胁。

Recalling the intense public scrutiny his sister endured, Earl Spencer revealed that he witnessed Diana's tears of despair over harsh media criticism. Diana, who married the then-Prince Charles in 1981, remained under constant press attention until her death in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997. Spencer referenced the eulogy he delivered at her funeral, in which he accused the media of embarking on a permanent quest to bring her down and stated that newspapers felt threatened by her genuine goodness.

针对外界认为他单方面偏向哈里王子的舆论看法，斯宾塞伯爵予以了澄清。他明确表示，自己支持已故胞姐的两个儿子，并坚持站在威廉与哈里两位侄子的立场上。他指出，如果兄弟两人中的任何一位提出任何需求，自己都会一视同仁地提供同等支持。

Addressing public and media perceptions that he might be siding exclusively with Prince Harry, Earl Spencer clarified his stance regarding both of his late sister's sons. Spencer insisted that he stands firmly by both Prince William and Prince Harry, emphasizing that if either of his nephews required anything, he would be equally there to support them.

斯宾塞伯爵近期在其关于戴安娜生平的新回忆录《Swan Song: Diana, My Sister》中披露，查尔斯国王在戴安娜去世后的数日内曾在一通电话中声称人们“很快就会忘记她”，斯宾塞更形容查尔斯在戴妃去世后数小时内听起来“异常兴奋”（giddily elated）。在接受BBC专访时，斯宾塞坚称自己讲述的完全属实，并表示查尔斯当年的言论性质极其恶劣，以至于自己在事后立即告知了身边的密友与家人。

Earl Spencer's remarks follow a public dispute surrounding his new memoir about Diana's life, titled "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister." In the book, Spencer claimed King Charles remarked during a telephone call days after Diana's death that people would forget her soon enough, further alleging that the monarch sounded giddily elated in the hours following her passing. Defending the claims during his BBC interview, Spencer stated he was telling the absolute truth and explained that the remarks were so monstrous he immediately confided in close friends and family members at the time.

针对回忆录中的指控，白金汉宫发言人发表声明称，尽管王室原则上不对书籍发表评论，但国王深知“手足之悲的痛苦会蒙蔽理性、影响判断，并以他人无法认同的方式影响记忆”。斯宾塞对此迅速予以反驳，指责白金汉宫的声明极具挑衅性且手段下作，本质上是在未能直接否认事实的情况下暗指自己在撒谎，是一种操控认知的做法，并认为戴安娜若在世定会为这本回忆录喝彩。

In response to the memoir's claims, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson stated that while the palace does not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment, and colour memory even years after such a loss. Spencer sharply rejected the statement, calling it extraordinarily provocative and below the belt. He accused the palace of attempting to suggest he had lied without formally denying his account, characterizing the palace's response as gaslighting and adding that Diana would celebrate the book's publication.

萨塞克斯公爵夫妇于8月26日从加利福尼亚州返回英国，此前两人于2020年宣布放弃王室公职并移居美国。在决定离开英国前，哈里与梅根多次指出媒体环境对其生活造成了沉重打击，哈里在2021年接受奥普拉·温弗瑞（Oprah Winfrey）专访时曾指责小报营造了充满“控制与恐惧”的“有毒环境”。梅根随后在2022年的网飞（Netflix）纪录片中表示，无论自己如何努力或做出何种尝试，媒体始终在想方设法毁掉她。

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the United Kingdom from California on August 26, six years after stepping back from front-line royal duties and subsequently relocating to the United States in 2020. Prior to leaving Britain, the couple frequently cited the severe toll exerted by press coverage. In their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry accused the tabloid press of establishing a toxic environment driven by control and fear. Meghan echoed these concerns in the couple's 2022 Netflix documentary series, stating that no matter how hard she tried or what she did, the media was determined to find a way to destroy her.

在移居海外及返回英国期间，哈里夫妇针对英国多家主要小报出版商提起了多起诉讼。在今年7月的一起案件中，哈里王子与利兹·赫莉（Liz Hurley）以及埃尔顿·约翰爵士（Sir Elton John）等六人针对《每日邮报》出版商提起的隐私权诉讼败诉。尽管诉讼结果各异，两人对英国报业及其在王室时期所获支持不足的持续抗争，构成了此次斯宾塞伯爵公开表态的重要背景。

Throughout their time in the United States and leading up to their return to Britain, Harry and Meghan pursued legal actions against multiple British tabloid newspaper publishers with varying degrees of success. In July this year, Prince Harry alongside six other prominent figures, including Sir Elton John and Liz Hurley, lost a high-profile privacy lawsuit brought against the publisher of the Daily Mail. Their prolonged courtroom battles against the press, combined with past criticisms over the lack of royal institutional backing, form the backdrop to Earl Spencer's latest public remarks.
