Could be interesting.

I can feel the anxiety emanating from Balmoral...

Is there anything at all left to be written about Diana?

He's just after the money 💰

Guess after his 4th divorce, Spencer is in need of cash. Vile man and is there really anything to say about Diana that hasn't already been said multiple times?

He was also estranged from her after the divorce because he refused to offer her sanctuary at Althorp

Christ. Just let the woman rest FFS. Her brother banged on about her being pursued by those wanting to publicise every aspect of her existence during her lifetime, but apparently isn’t above exploiting now she’s dead and he needs a few quid.

What an utter shit bag. I wonder if that is why the HAMS were at Althorpe. Can't they let that poor woman rest in peace. It's all for the £££££

It’s vile but I am petty enough to think it might be the ultimate gazump of HAM’s own plans to cash in.

ETA The memoir of someone who knew her for all of her life would be more informative than someone who knew her briefly and through a young child’s eyes.

Harry knew her for 12 years, not exactly 'briefly', but I agree her brother would probably give a more balanced picture.

Overall I wish he weren't doing it. There's already a lot of books out there with information on her personality and achievements. A personal memoir with detail on her- yes. A full book primarily about her- no.

Or they are collaborating on something. Weren't they supposed to have stayed with him when they were over in the summer?

I feel sorry for William if that is the case. I would think it would be the last thing he wants.

This is going to stir up a whole load of shit - on all parties. Nothing positive will come of it except some cash for him.

BruFord · Yesterday 23:26

I saw this headline and thought, why can't he let her rest in peace? Talk about exploiting her memory.😤

He’s been dining out on her for the past 29 years.

I listened to 'A Very Private School' on audiobook and to be honest thought it was really good.

Won't buy any book on Diana though.

Will the title be "Sister for Sale"?

I hope Spencer will remember that Diana had TWO sons and not make even more trouble for William. I hate the way William, because he doesn’t blather on endlessly like Harry, gets forgotten in this context. Saint Diana was his mother too.

Or if you really want to read it, wait for copies to start arriving in charity shops. There always seem to be Diana memoirs from all and sundry gathering dust in charity shops!

The Windsor smear campaign certainly didn’t let her rest in peace . I see it repeated here all the time .

A concerted smear campaign that still hasn’t worked. Diana has been dead for nearly 30 years and still has more charisma and charm than William Charles Camilla Kate put together.

Im sure William and Charles are too busy helping the investigation into Andrew in any case. Right ?

Gloriia · Today 07:50

What a grabby man. So like Harry monetising Diana.

They're both like a pair of tabloid reporters.

What do people on here say about Diana that is untrue?

Gloriia · Today 08:11

I do hope he includes the bit about how Spencers threw a very naive 19yr old to the wolves media wise, all for a bit of fame and limelight for The Spencers.

Maybe he'll demonstrate some regret that neither of his older sisters stopped the whole thing in the first place? I'm sure a quiet word with someone at BP to say she would not be cut out for the whole circus would've helped.

Not sure it's fair to blame Diana's sisters. Sarah Spencer had previously had a relationship with Charles which hadn't worked out - if anything should have given Diana pause for thought, it was that, but she was in love with him and with the idea of being Princess of Wales, she wasn't going to listen to naysayers.

Another man profiting from another woman.

OvernightBloats · Today 08:28

He's really scraping the barrel squeezing the last drop of money he can make out of his dead sister.

He says there will be revelations - wouldn't be surprised if he makes some up.
