The 62-year-old told the BBC that he remains neutral. William, 44, and Harry, 42, remain estranged with reports suggesting there is still no direct contact between the brothers.
Spencer acknowledged there are reasons on both sides but hopes they will reconcile. Spencer's memoir contains dramatic claims about King Charles sounding giddily elated after Princess Diana's 1997 death.
He also details a heated disagreement with the then-Prince over whether the young princes should walk behind Diana's coffin at her funeral.
