Charles Spencer is to publish a bombshell book about his sister, Princess Diana, in which he will allegedly lift the lid on “untruths” about her narrative, including her marriage to King Charles, by whose allies she was later smeared as unbalanced. The “historic” book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, is due to be published next month and will be a “deeply personal account” of his relationship with his sibling. Spencer, 62, said the approaching 30th anniversary of Diana’s death convinced him to write down his memories “once and for all.” (“The aim of this book is to tell the truth about Diana from her brother’s perspective,” he added.) Spencer is also expected to confront his role in Diana’s infamous 1995 Panorama interview; reporter Martin Bashir approached him with forged bank statements and persuaded Spencer to introduce him to Diana, a decision he has since expressed profound regret over. His own private life has also known its share of turbulence: he has been married three times and has seven children. He is now in a relationship with archaeologist Dr. Cat Jarman, his co-host on the Rabbit Hole Detectives podcast.
