and it seemed to me that it was because of the loser gambler father and for the kids sake and not over the rich, 'American' (ogre) ancestor.

Perhaps it was because Charles and Diana, the youngest of four children were the most affected by their parents messy divorce in the 1960s and bonded when little as a result.

Even though I've searched high and low I can't find a trace of that Charles Spencer interview/article which is very strange.
