After missing his other daughters’ weddings, Kitty and Amelia, Charles Spencer has remained silent about Lady Eliza’s surprise engagement.
Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer has remained silent after the engagement of his daughter – fuelling rumours of a growing family rift.
Last week, Lady Eliza Spencer took to Instagram to share the joyous news that her partner of 10 years, Channing Millerd, had popped the question while on a romantic holiday in Santorini.
Eliza shared a series of photos from the happy moment online, captioning the pictures “Forever and Ever.” Upon sharing the news, both of her sisters, Lady Kitty and Lady Amelia, were quick to comment their congratulations. However, Eliza’s father Charles has yet to publicly recognise the engagement, despite frequently posting on social media. It comes after claims Prince Harry ‘admits he is still part of the Royal Family and finally sees sense’.

Earl Spencer frequently shares details about his early life at Althorp House, the home where he and his sisters Diana, Sarah McCorquodale, and Lady Jane Fellowes were raised. He also shared a photo of several signed copies of his book, A Very Private School, which was released in March, on Monday.
Charles hasn’t mentioned anything about his daughter’s engagement despite having a steady online presence. With his first wife Victoria Aitken, he lives with his daughters Eliza, Amelia, and Kitty, as well as their brother Louis.
He did not attend the weddings of both Amelia and Kitty. In 2021, Kitty was walked down the aisle by her brothers as she tied the knot with retail millionaire Michael Lewis in Rome, who is more than 30 years her senior. Then, in 2023, Amelia married her long-time partner in a charming ceremony in South Africa, without her father present.
A source told MailOnline at the time of Kitty’s wedding: “Kitty and Charles were very close when she was growing up, but their relationship has cooled and been more distant since his marriage to his third wife Karen in 2011.
The four children have forged their own relationships with one another without the need for Charles to join them, and they are all close to their mother, Victoria. They are also well-adjusted to their step-siblings and Spencer aunts.
It’s just simpler for everyone to forget that Charles recently injured himself, which could explain why he won’t be traveling.
Diana’s brother claimed that his freedom of movement was impacted by a “painful and unpleasant” shoulder injury at the time of the wedding.
From 1989 to 1997, Charles and Victoria were married. Kitty and her siblings Eliza, Amelia, and Louis were raised in Cape Town, South Africa, away from the general public.
