The Spencers are a crazy family; yes, many generations have had many a crazy person or more in it!

Lady Georgina, the Duchess of Devonshire was a precursor of Lady Di...beautiful but nuts!

Di's father was a an out and out rotter and adulterer AND wife beater! And her grandfather was also a nut case.

Besides being spoiled to death by his mother, Harry is also quite dumb! Di was NOT well educated and no, she also was NOT intelligent! Oh she was manipulative, cunning, vengeful, and NUTS; however, intelligent...NEVER!

OTOH...no matter WHAT others may think/say...Camila is very intelligent, well educated, not bad looking when she was young, shares many common interests with Charles, and supposedly quite kind, charming, and very nice as a person.

Philip did NOT like her.

Charles HATED the boarding school he was sent to; it was absolutely THE wrong fit for him, in every single way AND prince or no prince, he WAS bullied there!

Then his father sent him off to the same college he had gone to and loved. Anne and Andrew also went there. But once again, it was NOT the right fit for Charles, at all!

Though Anne is quite like her mother, when it comes to doing her duty and doing it well, she IS her father's daughter in a lot of ways and was the apple of his eye!

I've seen the documentary, on PBS, about Althorp as well as one with Charles Spencer. It this a different one? I've also seen a YouTube one.

Can’t say which this is. Charles, Diana’s brother does a tour and spouts Spencer history better than a text book. He appears to be the best Spencer so far altho there is a lot of gossip on him also. I’ve watched it more than once and I come aways liking him. They kept Geo. Washington’s family afloat when they hit on hard times. They are also connected to the Duke of Marlborough, his wife is another good piece of history and the reason the Spencer’s were able to carry on. That might be talked about in this episode.
Who was the queen who turned England into The United Kingdom…….was it Anne ? My memory fails me. Anyhow…..the Dukes wife was her favorite, she was savvy politically and ended up with more money than the queen…I think it’s Lady Marlborough and the Duke who have the only house that is a called a “palace” besides royals….take a look, see if it’s the one you saw, I’m sure you’ll be pleased….then look up the one on Marlborough who won the war that made England become the United Kingdom ……enjoy
