In his new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which went on sale on September 22, 2026, Charles recalled an unsettling joke his sister made to a family member after receiving a bouquet of flowers for her 36th birthday.
“Earlier that same day, a member of my family sent Diana a bouquet as a birthday gift. Diana wrote to thank them, with her usual irreverent humor: ‘I’ve been so lucky! My house is so full of beautiful flowers that it looks like a funeral home!’”, recounted Charles, as reported by E! News.
Charles explained that the memory came to his mind while he was writing his sister's eulogy after her death on August 31, 1997.
“And there I was, barely two months later, trying to write something appropriate for her funeral,” he recounted.
What did Charles Spencer remember about the last time he saw Diana?
In his memoirs, Charles also recalled that the last time he saw his sister was two months before her passing and detailed that they met by chance at the Tate Gallery in London.
“Neither of us had any idea the other was going to be at the evening. We just had that brief chat, and we never saw each other again.”
How did Buckingham Palace respond to Diana's brother's memoirs?
One of the passages in Swan Song: Diana, My Sister that caused the most controversy was when Charles Spencer recounted that, following an argument over Diana's funeral procession, King Charles III assured him that they would soon forget his sister.
After that, Buckingham Palace responded to Charles and noted that King Charles III was aware that the pain of losing his sister had clouded his reason, affected his judgment, and biased his memories.
“Although, as a matter of principle, we do not comment on books, His Majesty is aware that the pain of losing a sibling can cloud reason, affect judgment, and bias memories in ways others do not perceive, even many years after said loss.”
