Earl Spencer Princess Diana book: Royal family braces for fresh wave of outrage over Princess Diana’s death

Share article Analysis: Weeks after the return of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex , the royal family is now bracing for a potentially bigger crisis as the brother of Diana, the late Princess of Wales , publishes a book promising to expose the “truth” about the beloved royal.

Earl Spencer’s book is threatening to reopen old wounds – not only within Buckingham Palace, which was heavily criticised for its slow response to the public outpouring of grief when Diana died , but among her two sons, who are no longer speaking despite being bonded forever by the tragedy of their mother’s untimely death.

Earl Spencer walked with Prince William and Prince Harry, and then-Prince Charles, and the Duke of Edinburgh, behind the princess’ coffin at her funeral in 1997. Getty
