Heartbreak for Harry and William. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing

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.

Fellowes was hired as an Assistant Private Secretary by the Royal Household in 1977.

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.

Robert was made a Baron at the end of his term, and Lady Jane became a Baroness before him.

The official day he took his seat in the House of Lords was October 26, 1999.

They had three kids together: Eleanor Ruth Fellowes, Alexander Robert Fellowes, and Laura Jane Fellowes.

It was very sad when Diana died in 1997, and Fellowes told The Telegraph, “I was very fond of her.” She was a great person.

It was hard for her to be happy, and I feel bad for people who are going through that.
