Key Points:
- Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, released a controversial book titled “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” claiming to offer an honest account of his sister’s life and death.
- Royal commentator Victoria Arbiter and other experts dispute many of Spencer’s claims, arguing they do not withstand scrutiny and caution against accepting his account as authoritative.
- Spencer alleges a tense conversation with King Charles III about Diana’s funeral procession and claims Charles was "giddy" after her death, assertions Buckingham Palace indirectly refuted by emphasizing the complexities of grief.
- Critics highlight inconsistencies in Spencer’s statements, referencing a past interview where he described Charles as polite after Diana’s death, contradicting the book’s more critical portrayal.
