Prince William and Prince Harry separately dodged questions about Charles Spencer’s new memoir about Princess Diana. Both royal brothers walked away without providing even a single-word answer. This comes after Spencer recently revealed that he told Harry and William about the book at the same time. He also told his sisters, Lady Sarah and Lady Jane, about the memoir at the same time as the brothers.
Prince William and Prince Harry dodged questions about new Diana book
Prince Harry was asked about Charles Spencer’s memoir when he arrived at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London for the WellChild Awards. The reporter asked, “Have you spoken to your uncle in the last few days?” However, Harry didn’t respond and walked inside the hotel.
A day later, Prince William was asked a similar question. This happened when he was present to celebrate the British film industry at the ActOne Cinema. An off-camera reporter asked, “So, how do you feel about your uncle’s book?” William dodged the question and went inside without answering.
Recently, Spencer spoke with PEOPLE, revealing when he told the royal brothers and how they reacted to the news of the memoir. He said, “All I would say is one was… So all four of them [William and Harry and Sarah and Jane], I told them exactly the same time. And I can say that Harry is completely fine about it.” He claimed that Harry hoped that he hadn’t written anything “embarrassing” about him. Spencer reassured him that he hadn’t.
He said that the Duke of Sussex’s concerns seemed genuine. Spencer explained that it’s natural for public figures to worry about how they are portrayed in the book. “I could reassure both of them that they’re, of course, in the book, but really as examples of two little boys who had the most exceptional mother, I’m not in any way compromising their privacy at all,” he elaborated. Princess Diana’s brother also admitted that the royal brothers were worried about their father’s depiction in the memoir.
