King Charles and Prince William are facing renewed attention over Charles Spencer’s upcoming Princess Diana memoir. The book revisits deeply personal chapters of Diana’s life, including her relationship with the Royal Family. With the book’s release, questions are now emerging over what members of the Royal Family knew about the book before its contents reached the public.
King Charles and Prince William weren’t given a ‘heads up’ about Princess Diana memoir, per source
According to Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice, King Charles and Prince William did not receive advance copies of Charles Spencer’s “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.” The memoir, due out September 22, reportedly makes personal claims about Diana and the Royal Family.
A royal source cited by Shuter claims, “There was no courtesy copy, no discreet heads-up, nothing.” The report also alleges that Harry received the book weeks before its publication. Another insider says Spencer wanted Harry to know what he planned to say about Diana before the memoir reached the public. The source further adds, “The King and William were left to discover some of the most damaging allegations essentially alongside the public. For a book this personal, that was extraordinary.”
As per the report, Harry had discussed the book with his uncle during a July family visit to Althorp, Diana’s burial place. It does not reveal what they discussed. The reported difference in access stands out because Diana was the mother of both Harry and William. A source cited by Shuter characterizes it as a matter of family trust. Meanwhile, the memoir has already drawn attention, with Shuter reporting an unusually forceful response from Buckingham Palace.
The situation now raises questions about what Spencer told Harry and why he kept Charles and William out. The reported circumstances could also add further scrutiny to the family dynamics surrounding Diana’s legacy and Spencer’s decision to share his account publicly.
