Charles Earl Spencer made a significant announcement about his sister, Princess Diana, ahead of the 30th anniversary of her passing.
The brother of the People’s Princess revealed that he has penned a book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, putting his feelings on paper after almost 30 years.
According to the description of the book, “In September 1997, Charles Spencer stood in Westminster Abbey before a watching world and shared his grief at losing his beloved sister, Diana, in a eulogy that was judged to be one of the great speeches of the twentieth century.
“Now, nearly thirty years later, he tells the astonishing story of his life with Diana and the tragic week of her death.”
Not only that, Charles Spencer said that instead of giving interviews about his globally recognised sister and her tragic death, he decided to write down his thoughts and memories once and for all.
He believes it is important to let the public know the correct version of her story, “rather than having the discomfort of again reading the opinions of others, many of which are based on untruths that have become accepted over time.”
The 62-year-old stated that the real aim behind this book is to tell a story from Diana’s brother’s perspective, just like he spoke at her funeral.
“As with my eulogy, I want to speak on Diana’s behalf and do so in an openly positive way.
“I hope this book will be of interest to the many who still cherish the memory of Diana when she was alive, and I would be delighted if those too young to remember her in her heyday feel – after reading this – that they ‘get’ who she really was: a one-off, dynamic character, full of love, charisma and self-doubt, who gave life a hell of a go, and left the world a far better place, despite exiting the stage while still so young.”
The book’s UK hardback release is scheduled for September 22, 2026.
It has been said that the new update about Princess Diana must be quite emotional for Prince William and Prince Harry, who, at a young age, lost their mother.
