Spencer Claims Harry Was Left to Spin Out of Control After Diana’s Funeral

Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer alleges that Prince Harry was allowed to spin out of control in the days after Diana’s 1997 funeral due to a lack of obvious care for the young royal, a point he reiterates in an excerpt from his forthcoming book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. He describes Harry’s need for Diana’s hugs and contrasts it with the perceived absence of nurturing during the trip from London to Althorp, where Diana was laid to rest, and notes Harry’s vulnerability during the coffin procession. Spencer also questions King Charles’s involvement in Diana’s funeral amid their divorce, while Buckingham Palace pushes back on earlier royal-family claims. The book is set to be released soon.

The excerpt published by Daily Mail has prompted Buckingham Palace to caution that fraternal grief can color memory, while the brothers’ relationship remains strained; the book is slated for release on Sept. 22, 2026.
