Why Spencer Refused

Spencer says he imagined Diana would ask what good a title would do after her death and felt the gesture would be hollow. He explains that being stripped of HRH after the 1996 divorce had already hurt her, and he wondered whether her sons might have appreciated the act more than she would.

The memoir also revisits his funeral eulogy, other disputed exchanges with then-Prince Charles and the palace’s response. Announced ahead of the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death, Spencer calls the book a personal tribute and said narrating the audiobook was his most intimate work.
