Charles Spencer reportedly revealed when he told Prince Harry and Prince William about his Diana memoir. He said that initially, nobody knew about it, not even his sisters; only his wife, Cat, was aware of his writing project. In addition, he reportedly mentioned that the royal brothers may have one specific concern about how their father would be portrayed in the memoir.
Charles Spencer reportedly reveals details on Diana memoir
In a recent conversation with PEOPLE, Spencer reportedly said that only his wife and the people in the book world were aware that he was writing a memoir about his sister, Diana. He added that he told his sisters, Lady Sarah and Lady Jane, about it at the same time as Prince Harry and William. He mentioned that his sisters were surprised with his decision.
“All I would say is one was…” he said. “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,” Spencer continued.
He also shared that Prince Harry hoped there was “nothing embarrassing” written about him, and he reassured him that there wasn’t. Spencer said that Prince Harry’s concern seemed genuine, as it’s “natural” for public figures to worry about how they will come across 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,” Diana’s brother said.
Spencer reportedly admitted that the royal brothers may have been concerned about how the monarch would be depicted in the book. However, he reassured that although he had an “awful lot” to add in the book, he didn’t. “If I wanted to write a scandalous book about Prince Charles or King Charles as he is now, it would really be a jaw-dropper, but I’m not here to do that,” he said, explaining his reason.
