The uncle of Prince Harry and Prince William, Lord Robert Fellowes, has died.
He was 82 years old.
Lord Robert was married to Princess Diana and was the late Queen’s private secretary from 1990 to 1999.
During the “annus horribilis” of 1992, when the royal family had a lot of problems, he helped the Queen.
In that year, Prince Charles had a fight with Diana, Prince Andrew broke up with Sarah Ferguson, Princess Anne got divorced, and a fire destroyed Windsor Castle.
Mohammed al Fayed, the owner of Harrods, later made some strange claims about Lord Robert. He said that he wasn’t responsible for Diana’s car accident in 1997.
He was born at Sandringham House in Norfolk in 1941, when the Second World War was at its worst.
After going to Eton College, he joined the Scots Guards on a short-term commission in 1960.
In 1963, he started working as a banker for Allen Harvey and Ross Ltd., a company that did discount brokerage and banking.
Lord Robert got married to Lady Jane Fellowes in 1978 at Westminster Abbey.
Diana Spencer, Lady Jane’s sister and later Princess Diana, was a bridesmaid at the wedding.
