Newscast · The Earl Spencer Diana Interview Analysis · 20 Sep 2026 podcast

I remember picking up the telephone, I was upstairs in my house in Cape Town, and he was telling me how he had told the boys, William and Harry, at Balmoral and broken the news to them.

And I I I felt, as I say in the book actually, I felt there was a sort of giddy tone.

I'd had a lot of calls that day from people who cared, who were stunned, like we all were.

I just felt there was a a lightness in his tone about Diana's death that really jarred with me.

I well, I'm reporting every word in this book I report exactly as I saw it and felt it at the time, and I was surprised at the giddiness of his tone.

That's what I'm recording there.

That is how I felt at the time from the tone of his voice.

So I've only ever had two calls from him, and they were both around this time.

One was on the day of Diana's death and one was a couple of days later.

be sure.

I s I'm saying that's what I assume from the tone is a possibility and that's all I can do.

Well every day, you know.

That's the thing with sibling loss, you never get over it.

I have a very luckily I have a hugely diverse and happy life.

One of the reasons I call this Swan Song actually is because it's my sign-off.

I have been Diana's brother.

This is my final take on the situation.

And I have a wonderful, happy life, gorgeous children, fabulous wife.

And we live this much more normal life than this looks like.

and that's my future.
