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.
Between 1986 and 1990, he worked as a Deputy Private Secretary and then as a Private Secretary. He did this job for 20 years.
Lord Robert was in charge for nine years, until 1999. Robin Janvrin took over the job after him.
When he worked for the Royal Family for 20 years, Queen Elizabeth II gave him the Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Medal.
He also worked as an extra horse for the late Queen until she died in September 2022.
