Summary

  • King Charles and Prince William were not given advance copies of Charles Spencer’s memoir “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” due for release on Sept. 22, according to a report citing royal sources.
  • Harry, by contrast, reportedly received the book weeks earlier and discussed it with Spencer during a July visit to Althorp, though the report did not say what was shared.
  • The memoir is said to contain personal claims about Princess Diana and the Royal Family, leaving Charles and William to learn of some allegations at roughly the same time as the public.
  • Buckingham Palace has already mounted what the report described as an unusually forceful response, underscoring fresh strain over Diana’s legacy and family trust.
