UK king braces as memoir by Diana’s brother goes on sale
'Swan Song: Diana, My Sister', a memoir written by Princess Diana's younger brother, has been published by Penguin and translated into 12 languages.
Buckingham Palace issued a rare statement on Tuesday, acknowledging the potential for grief to cloud one's perception and memory. The statement came after the release of Charles Spencer's memoir, "Diana, My Sister," which contains explosive revelations about his late sister Princess Diana. The book, published by Penguin and translated into 12 languages, has reignited interest in Diana's life and tragic death, which occurred 28 years ago in Paris.
"Diana, My Sister" has sparked controversy with its claims, including that Princess Diana's ex-husband, now King Charles, initially expressed dissatisfaction about Diana's funeral arrangements. Buckingham Palace released a statement acknowledging the king's recognition of the impact of grief on memory and judgment. Charles Spencer, the author, defended his work, stating his intention to speak on Diana's behalf and correct untruths about her life.
However, royal experts have criticized the book's claims, with some questioning the authenticity of Spencer's recollections.
