Spencer discusses Diana’s legacy and Prince Harry’s grief
In his first interview about the forthcoming book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, author Charles Spencer spoke with CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips about his attempt to record what he calls the “true history” of his sister, Princess Diana.
Spencer said the book will explore Diana’s life from her early years to her untimely death, aiming to provide a more comprehensive view than previous biographies. He noted that his research involved extensive interviews and archival work to capture the nuances of the princess’s public and private life.
During the conversation, Spencer also reflected on Prince Harry’s grief after Diana’s death. He suggested that a “more understanding treatment” of the young prince at the time might have led to “a happier course ahead.”
Spencer’s comments highlight the enduring impact of Diana’s death on the royal family and the ways in which the public and media responses shaped the prince’s later life.
The book is expected to offer fresh insights into the personal and political dynamics surrounding one of the most iconic figures of the late twentieth century.
