Another wrote: “What a beautiful photo. I spent an evening with your sister in Milan. It was 1985 & I was 8 years.
“She wore a sparkly blue jacket, but she sparkled regardless. Glamorous & kind – what a rare combination.”
In addition to a string of comments, the tweet has been liked more than 1,000 times.
Earl Spencer’s Twitter post comes as he has made new allegations, reported by the Daily Mail, about how the BBC scooped its Panorama interview with Diana in 1995.
He alleges journalist Martin Bashir made false claims about members of the Royal Family to win her trust.
The bombshell interview saw Diana – who died in a Paris car crash in 1997 – famously say there were “three of us” in her marriage to Prince Charles, in reference to Camilla.
The BBC has promised an inquiry if there is fresh evidence.
Bashir is currently seriously unwell with complications from coronavirus and unable to respond to the allegations.
