Diana's brother rejected Queen Elizabeth II's 1997 offer to restore her HRH title

Diana's brother rejected Queen Elizabeth II's 1997 offer to restore her HRH title

Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, alleges that Queen Elizabeth II thought about reinstating her Her Royal Highness status on the occasion of her burial in 1997. He heard the offer from Robert Fellowes, the Queen's Private Secretary, while on the Royal Train to Diana's burial. Earl Spencer said he rejected the "consolation prize" as Diana would have seen no point in a posthumous award.
