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 mentioned the incident during a podcast interview, describing Lady Sarah as a challenging patient due to her spirited nature. The 70-year-old Lady Sarah, Princess Diana’s sister, remains actively involved in horse riding despite her recent hospitalization following a significant fall.
Earl Spencer did not provide specific details about Lady Sarah’s injuries. Lady Sarah, who married Neil McCorquodale in 1980, has three children named Emily, George, and Celia. She played a significant role in William and Harry’s lives by giving them each a lock of Princess Diana’s hair, a gesture of sentimental value.
Lady Sarah has been a supportive figure to Harry, attending his military events and family milestones. She also participated in important family gatherings, including the christening of Prince Archie and the unveiling of Diana’s statue. Lady Sarah’s sister, Lady Jane Fellowes, has also been actively involved in supporting the royal family, including reading at Diana’s funeral and Harry’s wedding.
Earl Spencer, Diana’s younger brother and the current head of the Spencer family, holds the title of Earl Spencer. He maintains the family’s estate in Northamptonshire and recently hosted Prince Harry during his visit to the UK. Earl Spencer has a close relationship with the late Queen and has been vocal about protecting William and Harry following Diana’s passing in 1997.
