Charles Spencer shared some sombre news on Friday following the release of his nephew Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix documentary.
The 58-year-old has not shared his opinion on Harry and Meghan's tell-all docuseries but instead took to Twitter to express his sadness following the passing of George 'Johnny' Johnson, the last surviving World War II Dambuster.

Sq Ldr George was a bomb-aimer in the British Royal Air Force 'Dambusters', who destroyed crucial dams in Germany with specially designed 'bouncing bombs' during the second world war.
His family confirmed that he died peacefully in his sleep in his care home in Bristol on Wednesday. He was 101.

Paying tribute to the last survivor of the 617 Squadron, Charles wrote: "Sorry to see that the last surviving WW2 Dambuster has died, aged 101. 'Johnny' Johnson was clearly a wonderful, humble, and (needless to say) courageous man."
Charles has continued to refrain from commenting on Harry & Meghan and has instead gone about his business as usual.
