Diana’s Birthday Bouquet Moment Predicted the Funeral Echo Two Months Before Her Death

In Charles Spencer’s new memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, he recalls Diana’s 36th birthday remark that her house looked like a funeral parlour after receiving a bouquet, a prescient line cited two months before her 1997 death; the piece also covers their final meeting, Spencer’s task of writing her eulogy, and ongoing controversy over the memoir’s claims about the royal family’s handling of Diana’s funeral, including the reported tension over who would walk behind her coffin.
