Princess Diana's brother, eyewitness to history, sparks royal ruckus
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
* Spencer's book about Diana goes on sale on Tuesday
Adding to this, LONDON, Sept 22 - Charles Spencer, brother of the late Princess Diana, is no stranger to writing books about British kings.
Meanwhile, His previous bestsellers include "Killers of the King" and "To Catch a King" and, while those two works focused on the 17th century, some might say his latest book is along the same lines.
Notably, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister" will be published on Tuesday, and is his take on his sister's life and her unhappy marriage to the now King Charles. In pre-rolled out excerpts, Spencer claims Charles was "giddily elated" in the aftermath of Diana's death in 1997, reopening a painful episode for the royal family.
As per the latest buzz, Spencer, 62, shared he wrote the book because it was his duty "as an eyewitness to history", but his version of events has been rejected by Buckingham Palace in unusually strong terms.
In further updates, "The pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory," it shared, in a statement that added to the publicity surrounding the book.
On top of that, Spencer was born into a British aristocratic family, with close links to the royal family. The late Queen Elizabeth was his godmother.
He was 17 when his 20-year-old sister, fast becoming the most photographed woman in the world, married the then-Prince Charles in a fairytale wedding in 1981. Spencer told CNN in an interview some years later how at the time he was more interested in "exams and playing my sports at school" than the global event.
