@thetimes: What are Earl Spencer's key claims in his new book?⁠ ⁠ Few books on the royal family have been deemed worthy of a response from Buckingham Palace, and fewer still have prompted such an immediate and strongly worded one.⁠ ⁠ The first serialised excerpt from Swan Song: Diana, My Sister by Earl Spencer, however, led to an unprecedented statement from a Buckingham Palace spokesman.⁠ ⁠ “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment, and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss,” it read.⁠ ⁠ Releasing the book 29 years after Diana’s death, Spencer said he wanted to correct certain “untruths” that have circulated since his sister's passing.⁠ ⁠ Here are his claims so far. #spencer #diana #royals #kingcharles #crown
