Prince William has attracted fresh attention after reporters questioned him about his uncle Charles Spencer’s new book about the late Princess Diana.
The Prince of Wales was attending an event in London when journalists asked him about Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, the memoir written by Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer.
Reporters wanted to know how William felt about the book and whether he had already read it. However, the future King did not respond to the questions and quietly continued into the venue.
William’s silence came as his uncle’s memoir began making headlines because of its personal accounts of Diana’s life, her marriage to then-Prince Charles and the events surrounding her death.
The book has attracted particular attention because Spencer makes a number of claims about William’s father, King Charles. Buckingham Palace has already responded to one of the allegations, saying that grief can affect a person’s reason, judgment and memory.
Charles Spencer has described the memoir as his attempt to record his memories of Diana and their family life. He has also said that he wanted to present his perspective before the 30th anniversary of his sister’s death.
Spencer has said that he informed both Prince William and Prince Harry about the book at the same time. He has also described the memoir as a tribute to Diana rather than an attempt to create a scandal.
Despite the attention surrounding the publication, William has so far chosen not to publicly discuss the memoir. His decision to remain silent when questioned by reporters has therefore become another talking point surrounding the book.
For now, there has been no public confirmation from Prince William about whether he has read the memoir or what he thinks about its claims.
