Talk:Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer

message: This article contains way too much unsourced and unsubstatiated information, especially for an article about a currently living person who probably knows where to find a lawyer. It needs a good references section, and probably the removal of some speculative or POV text. -- Chris j wood 19:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This is completely unreferenced. I've moved here a number of the more obvious potential libels and inanities:
: Spencer's childhood was scarred by the divorce of his parents - his mother had an affair and left his father, an acrimonious divorce ensued, with the custody battle ending in the courts. At Oxford University he gained a reputation as an over-privileged hellraiser and appeared in a non-speaking role in the film adaptation of Another Country. After University, Spencer got media work as a royal correspondent. 
: Soon after the wedding, it was revealed that Spencer had maintained an affair with the journalist Sally-Ann Lasson.
: One of his first actions was to order the removal of all of his step-mother Raine Spencer's effects from the estate. He also refused his sister Diana the use of a cottage on the estate following her divorce from the Prince of Wales, resulting in the two falling out. To avoid press interest in himself and his family, Earl Spencer and his family moved to South Africa.
:  His claims at the time that press photographers were directly involved in the death of his sister caused a heightened interest in the Earl's affairs, given that the Earl was seeking a divorce from his now estranged wife. Now living in South Africa, Spencer had had an affair with a socialite Chantal Collopy.
The rest of it certainly needs some cites, but is rather less messy.

message: "The eulogy came in for some criticism because it attacked the Royal family rather than focusing on what Diana had achieved during her life."
I added a link at the bottom to what I thought was the charles spencer eulogy for Diana. I don't see any attack on the royal family. Perhaps my link is to a false transcript of the eulogy, or perhaps I missed the royal family attack part, or perhaps whoever wrote that part of the article is full of crap.

message: In the section First marriage there are something wrong in the following sentence:
At the same time, he also became the 9th Viscount Althorp, 9th Viscount Spencer of Althorp, 9th Baron Spencer of Althorp and the 4th Viscount Althorp.
He can't be both 9th Viscount Althorp and 4th Viscount Althorp.

message: Why wouldn't you just say "the younger brother of princess diana"
Any none British person who comes to this page having no idea who this.guy is, is not gonna see "the younger brother of diana, princess of wales" is not going to think, "ah yes... princess diana"
The "maternal uncle of" part after is verbose, redundant and just adds to the confusion..
After the other part of the intro, it should just say "He is the younger brother of  Princess Diana.
and the intro should end there. Idk why but this one really annoyed me. 2600:1700:DF50:A1F0:6126:F6C8:C707:7E71 (talk) 02:18, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
