publishers 6articles 7first reported 24 Sep, 19:23 UTCdeveloping since 25 Sep · 2 editions

Charles Spencer has revisited the life and death of his sister, Princess Diana, and criticized the royal family in a new memoir. Reports about the book say it includes an allegation that King Charles told Diana before their 1981 wedding that he was not in love with her, as well as Spencer’s account of a supposed “myth” about his sister that he wants to lay to rest.

Coverage of the memoir also focuses on Spencer’s reflections about the eulogy he delivered after Diana’s death and a regret connected to it. Yahoo reported that the king is angered by what it described as alleged falsehoods in the book, while reviews in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Conversation characterized the memoir as sharply critical of the royal family.
