Charles Edward Maurice Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, DL (born 20 May 1964), styled Viscount Althorp between 1975 and 1992, is the younger brother of Diana, Princess of Wales. He is also a British peer, author, print journalist, and broadcaster. Through his sister Diana he is the maternal uncle of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Harry, and the great-uncle of Prince George of Cambridge and Princess Charlotte of Cambridge.
Spencer was born in London on 20 May 1964 and named Charles Edward Maurice, with Queen Elizabeth II as his godmother. His parents were then called Viscount and Viscountess Althorp, as his grandfather Albert Spencer, 7th Earl Spencer, was still alive. He had three elder sisters: Sarah, Jane, and Diana, who later became the Princess of Wales. An elder brother, John, had died within hours of birth.
He was educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he read Modern History.
Spencer worked as an on-air correspondent with NBC News from 1986 to 1995, primarily for the network's morning programme, Today, and NBC Nightly News. He wrote and presented the 12-part documentary series, "Great Houses of the World" (1994–1995) for NBC Super Channel. He also worked as a reporter for Granada Television from 1991 to 1993.
