Lady Sarah McCorquodale, the sister of Princess Diana, has been admitted to a hospital after being “seriously injured.” Her brother, Earl Spencer, revealed that McCorquodale, 70, had a “really bad fall” from a horse. Spencer sat down on Gyles Brandreth’s Rosebud podcast to share that she has a long recovery and joked that his sister has been “quite a handful as a patient.” “She’s quite punchy,” he said. Spencer reported that the doctor said, “She’s quite a character, isn’t she?” McCorquodale dated King Charles for two years before he went on to date her younger sister, Diana. The sisters shared no bitter feelings about their shared lover. In fact, McCorquodale takes credit for the royal couple’s pairing, claiming she played “cupid.” The public feud between William and Harry has reportedly divided family relationships. Lady McCorquodale is one of the few family members who have a relationship with both brothers—she was also one of the few people Diana trusted toward the end of her life.
