Charles Spencer knows exactly which questions he doesn’t want to answer. During a People cover story published Monday, Princess Diana’s brother asked the reporter,“Is it all right if we don’t do too much Harry stuff?”The timing makes sense. His memoir,“Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,”arrives Tuesday, and the press cycle is already intense.
Spencer did address Prince Harry, just on his own terms. He noted that Harry joked about hoping nothing embarrassing about him made the book, and Spencer said Harry is“completely fine about it.”He also said he spoke to both Harry and William about the project at the same time and reassured them he didn’t compromise their privacy. But excerpts have sparked chatter about claims regarding King Charles’reaction to Diana’s death, which prompted a Buckingham Palace statement last week about grief clouding reason and memory.
So the book is out Tuesday, and the royal family rift stays the internet’s favorite ongoing saga. The question now is whether you’ll actually read it. Are you picking up a copy of“Swan Song,”or are you waiting for the recaps online?
