UK police have launched an investigation into sexual abuse allegations by Charles Spencer, Princess Diana's younger brother, during his time at Maidwell Hall boarding school in the 1970s.

In his memoir 'A Very Private School,' Spencer recounts experiencing sexual abuse and beatings, leading to lifelong trauma.

Northamptonshire Police confirmed that the investigation is in early stages, following preliminary inquiries.

Maidwell Hall acknowledged the claims and expressed regret over the historical abuse experiences described in Spencer's book.
