Earl Charles Spencer has claimed that one of his nephews was planning to make a documentary about the life of the late Princess Diana.
Diana’s brother made this shocking revelation in his new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.
“In some ways, the aim of this book is to tell the truth about Diana from her brother’s perspective, just as I attempted to do when speaking at her funeral,” wrote Earl.
“She deserves my best efforts, in the face of so much invention and lazy half-truth out there,” he continued. “I have never read a biography of Diana, but the snippets that have come to me in bite-sized form via newspapers have never chimed with what I knew and know.”
“They have all been notable for their inaccuracy,” Earl penned.
Earl further explained why he is writing the book ahead of the 30th anniversary of his sister’s death.
“With the thirtieth anniversary of Diana’s death in view, I was again declining endless, repeated requests to appear in documentaries about her from, to name just a few, a nephew, from Diana’s biographer Andrew Morton, and from Tony Blair’s spin doctor, Alastair Campbell and I thought, You know what? he wrote
“Rather than even contemplate being a talking head in a production that will follow the usual flawed lines, with an agenda set by some TV producer I will never meet, or by a network I will never watch, I am going to tell things how I remember them, lay them down for good, once and for all,” added Earl.
