Prince Harry sees Earl Spencer's tell-all about Princess Diana as proof he was right to speak out against the royal family.

In brief

Prince Harry sees Earl Spencer's tell-all about Princess Diana as proof he was right to speak out against the royal family. Harry believes his mother was silenced by the institution and supports Spencer's book as defending Diana, not attacking the monarchy. Originally reported by Cosmopolitan.

Earl Spencer releases Diana book

Princess Diana's brother is publishing Swan Song: Diana, My Sister with explosive claims, including that King Charles said people would forget about Diana after her death.

Harry feels completely vindicated

Harry reportedly knew about the book in advance and feels vindicated that Diana's own brother is now speaking publicly about the royal family, just as Harry has been criticized for doing.

“"Harry feels completely vindicated. For years, he was accused of betraying the family by speaking publicly."”

Book explains why they left

Book explains why they left

Harry and Meghan believe Diana's story shows what happens when protecting the institution matters more than protecting the person, helping explain their own departure from royal life.

“"This book doesn't just revisit Diana, it helps explain why they left."”

Harry supports Spencer's truth

Harry believes his mother was silenced while alive and has no interest in making her story comfortable for the Palace. He sees Spencer as defending Diana, not attacking the monarchy.

“"If the truth makes the Palace uncomfortable, Harry believes that's the Palace's problem."”

Harry knew, William didn't

Harry was made aware of the book's contents ahead of time and brought inside the circle, while Prince William was kept in the dark about Spencer's plans.

“"Harry was brought inside the circle. William was kept outside it."”

The key point

Harry believes his mother was silenced by the institution and supports Spencer's book as defending Diana, not attacking the monarchy.
