Lady Sarah McCorquodale, the aunt of Princes William and Harry and eldest sister of the late Princess Diana, was recently hospitalized following a serious fall while horse riding. Her brother, Earl Spencer, described her as a “handful as a patient” during her hospital stay but did not disclose details about her injuries. Lady Sarah, aged 70, has a long-standing connection to the royal family, having dated Prince Charles before he met Diana, and has been a supportive figure to her nephews, including giving them locks of Diana’s hair after her death.

Lady Sarah is married to Neil McCorquodale and has three children. She has remained close to the royal family, attending significant events such as Harry’s military graduation and the christenings of his children. Her brother, Earl Spencer, who manages the family estate at Althorp, has also been a key figure in supporting Diana’s legacy and her sons. The Spencer family continues to play an important role in the lives of William and Harry, maintaining strong ties to their late mother’s memory.
