Meghan and Harry were accused of being 'tasteless' after visiting Diana's grave. But this is the quiet show of support from Earl Spencer so many missed - and what it reveals about his relationship with the couple: RICHARD EDEN

Referring to William and Harry, he added: 'The princes actually applauded at the end, although the senior members of the Royal Family did not.' Almost three decades after the car crash in Paris that killed Diana, Lord Spencer is still close to at least one of her sons. William appears to have kept his distance from historian Lord Spencer, who was conspicuous by his absence at the weddings of his daughters Lady Kitty in 2021 and Lady Amelia two years later. But they stayed at Althorp with Earl Spencer and his latest Countess, Cat Jarman, his fourth wife. Last week, Meghan posted a photograph online of Harry and their children in Althorp's gardens carrying bouquets of flowers.
