  "summary": "Charles Spencer, Earl Spencer, has written a memoir about his sister Princess Diana, promising to share the truth about her life. The book, titled \"Swan Song: Diana, My Sister\", is set to be released in the UK next month, nearly 30 years after Princess Diana's death in a car crash in Paris in 1997.\n\nEarl Spencer said he wants to speak on his sister's behalf and share her story in a positive way, revealing her to be a dynamic and charismatic person who was full of love, but also struggled with self-doubt. He hopes the book will help people understand who she really was.\n\nThe Earl Spencer said he was motivated to write the book because he was tired of reading opinions about his sister that he believes are based on untruths. He wants to set the record straight from his own perspective, as her brother. Princess Diana would have turned 65 this year, and her sons Prince William and Prince Harry were 15 and 12 years old, respectively, when she died.",
