Description
A #1 New York Times bestseller, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister is Charles Spencer’s intimate account of growing up alongside Diana and witnessing the extraordinary life that followed.
In September 1997, Charles Spencer stood before a global audience at Westminster Abbey to mourn his sister. Nearly thirty years later, he looks back on their shared childhood, Diana’s transformation into one of the most recognisable women in the world and the devastating week surrounding her death.
As the youngest Spencer children, Charles and Diana were inseparable. They explored the family estate together, confided in one another and supported each other through difficult boarding schools, frightening nannies and the pain of their parents’ divorce.
Everything changed when Diana married the Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, and suddenly became a global figure. Charles watched his sister embrace motherhood and use her position to support people who were often overlooked or marginalised.
He also witnessed the intense scrutiny surrounding her as her marriage deteriorated and the press pursued her relentlessly.
In Swan Song, Charles Spencer offers a deeply personal portrait of Diana not simply as a princess, but as his sister, reflecting on their bond, the world that surrounded her and the loss that changed his life.
