After criticizing his stepmother for selling Althorp treasure, is the Earl Spencer holding a similar sale?

I seem to remember endless criticism of Raine for selling off family collection items in order to make much needed, and long overdue repairs to the Spencer's Althorp. Someone was saying that now the Earl Spencer is doing exactly the same thing, with disregard for all the harsh criticism he heaped on his stepmother. What is the truth to this rumor?|||Indeed dear Minerva. One has heard through the grapevine that Earl Spencer is having a sale in which he will sell off his most prized possessions. Apparently, collectors of The Beano, The Dandy and Roy of the Rovers are flocking to his house as we speak.
