The publisher notes, regarding the book: “In September 1997, Charles Spencer stood up in Westminster Abbey before a watching world and shared his grief over the loss of his beloved sister Diana. Now, almost thirty years later, he recounts the extraordinary story of his life with her and the tragic week surrounding her death.”
During their childhood, Charles and Diana, the younger siblings of the Spencers, were inseparable; in secret, they called each other Duch and Carlos. United by a deep mutual trust, they ran around the family estate together, endured very hard boarding schools, survived terrifying nannies, and helped each other cope with their parents’ divorce.
But everything changed when Diana married the Prince of Wales, today King Charles III, and overnight she became a global icon. Charles witnessed how his elder sister devoted herself to the marginalized of the world and enjoyed her role as mother to her beloved children.
However, pursued by a ferocious press as the royal marriage collapsed, Diana was left to fend for herself. Charles was always by her side… until that fateful night in August 1997.
In The Swan Song, Charles Spencer offers the most intimate, affectionate, and sincere portrait that has been written to date about his sister, Princess Diana”.
