The maternal uncle of Prince William and Prince Harry is not planning to attend King Charles’ coronation in May.

Charles Spencer, Diana’s younger brother, discussed the upcoming ceremony on Monday’s episode of the Off Air… with Jane and Fi podcast.

When asked if he would attend the coronation, he replied, “I wouldn’t have thought so — I think it’s only about 2,000 people going.”

Spencer responded to another question by saying, “I think of Diana every day, in a different context. Actually, the whole royal thing, I don’t find it as interesting as a lot of people, you know? I just get on with my life,” Charles said. “I look after what I have to look after at the estate, and I have a career, write books and such… People obviously assume that I care a lot about that side of things, but it’s just a side part of my life.”

When host Jane Garvey asked him if he’d play a formal role in the crowning ceremony on May 6, he said, “I think we’ve never had an official role in it, just turned up like everyone else used to, when it was the hereditary peers and the House of Lords,” the author and historian explained. “That’s no longer the case. There is some old coronet knocking around somewhere, but I won’t be wearing it soon, I don’t think.”

While many royals fans were disappointed by Charles’ thoughts on coronation, others expressed support for Princess Diana’s younger brother, who died in a car accident in 1997.
