The Brother's Burden: Earl Spencer's Quest for Truth About Diana The upcoming book by Earl Spencer, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister", is a memoir about his sister that also aims to set the record straight on her life and legacy.
As we approach the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's tragic death, Earl Spencer's decision to write this book raises questions about truth telling, media narratives, and the enduring impact of one of the most beloved figures of our time.
In his eulogy at Westminster Abbey in 1997, Earl Spencer famously condemned the media for its role in hounding his sister. He spoke out against the "ruthless" and "merciless" press that had made Diana a "scapegoat".
