Earl Spencer's Diana Memoir Reopens Royal Rift

Earl Spencer publishes Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, recounting explosive private conversations with Prince Charles after Diana’s death, including criticisms of how the royal family handled her funeral and a claim that Charles angrily told him, “We’ll forget her soon enough.” The memoir frames the Spencer family as a counterweight to the Windsors and argues Diana deserved respect beyond royal titles, arriving as Charles’s health and renewed scrutiny of the monarchy accompany Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK.

Earl Spencer says he has never got over his sister Diana’s death, telling BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg that the grief never leaves him and that viewing old photographs is heartbreak.

The piece notes more than 400 allegations of sexual misconduct linked to al-Fayed and associates and that the Metropolitan Police are handling hundreds of victim statements, with the palace stressing that grief can cloud judgment.
