Spencer told ITV’s Lorraine, “When I look at all these newspapers going berserk again and I’ve always found it so hard, I think it’s because I’m not very imaginative, but I always see things in term of family.”

“And I remember when I was a boy and Diana became Princess of Wales, I just sort of ploughed along on the same path. You separate the media personality from the real person who’s a member of your family, and that’s all that matters at the end of the day.”

The name has brought contention with Prince Harry and Meghan’s lawyers threatening the BBC with legal action after they claimed the Queen was not asked about naming their baby Lilibet, her childhood nickname.
