Princess Diana and her brother Charles Spencer both went through a difficult time following their parents’ divorce.

In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Diana’s brother, 56, spoke about the pain he and his sister endured when their father, John Spencer, the 8th Earl Spencer and his first wife, Frances, split in 1969.

Previously speaking to PEOPLE, Charles said that the split was “was tough on Diana.”

As for his own journey, Charles told The Sunday Times that he’s been “in and out of therapy for 20 years” and has done “a lot of very profound work on my unhappy childhood.”

Calling the work “agonizing and horrible,” he noted that “the result has been cathartic.”
