Charles Spencer, Earl Spencer and brother of the late Princess Diana, has presented new claims from his upcoming memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. The book addresses not only Diana's life but also her relationships with the royal family and the circumstances following her death. Tagesspiegel ↗
Spencer stated that Prince Harry is "completely fine" with the upcoming book. He also compared the media's treatment of Harry and Meghan to the pressure Diana was subjected to. According to him, the media had a "cancerous influence" on the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and in his view, society has not learned enough from Diana's case. La Repubblica ↗
Spencer's descriptions of then-Prince Charles's behavior after Diana's death attracted particular attention. During a phone call, he reportedly sensed a certain lightness in his voice. Spencer also claims that after the death of their father, when Spencer was grieving, Charles said: "You are so lucky!" The remark was reportedly related to the fact that Spencer would ultimately inherit the entire estate, while Charles, as heir to the throne, was still waiting for his inheritance. Welt ↗
Spencer described his decision to make these claims public as the duty of someone who witnessed historic events. The memoir is meant to offer his personal perspective on Diana's life, her death, and the workings of the British monarchy. The book may further spark public debate about relationships among members of the royal family and about the role of the media. BBC News ↗
