MPs back Earl's call to liberate Princes

Article Abstract:

Earl Spencer, brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, made a strong attack on the Royal Family during his address at her funeral. He stated that Princes William and Harry should be protected from the media intrusion which made her life so difficult, and expressed the belief that the Princes should not be brought up by the Royal Family alone. There is widespread agreement among Labour and Conservative MPs that the parenting style adopted by Diana, Princess of Wales, should be continued by the Spencer side of the family.
