Earl Spencer’s apology isn’t enough, says Piers Morgan
The British broadcaster says he will pursue legal action against the earl and his publisher over a factual error in a new book about Princess Diana.
Piers Morgan has urged Earl Spencer to remove his book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, from shelves due to a factual error. Earl Spencer, Princess Diana's brother, apologized to Morgan for incorrectly describing him as the editor of the Daily Mirror in the memoir. The Mirror Group published intrusive photographs of Diana at the gym in 1993, and Morgan's lawyers will demand the offending pages be removed from the book.
Penguin, the publisher of Swan Song, will amend the error in future editions. Morgan claims the book contains several false allegations, including a claim that King Charles said "we'll forget her soon enough" during a disagreement over Diana's funeral. Buckingham Palace responded, stating that the King is mindful of the pain of fraternal grief but denies the quote.
Prince Harry is reportedly in talks to make a documentary about his mother, Diana, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of her death.
