Diana's brother considered writing princess's biography
Saturday, 11 August 2007
LONDON, Aug 10 (AFP): The brother of the late princess Diana revealed Thursday that he has considered writing a biography about his sister, in the run-up to the 10-year anniversary of her death.
Speaking to the BBC, Spencer said that he thought many of the books chronicling the divorced royal's life were "very inaccurate" and thought that a good historian needed to confront the subject.
Asked by the interviewer if Spencer himself would do so, he replied: "I've thought about doing one but never have (it) published in my lifetime, maybe 20 years after I'm dead or something."
Spencer is perhaps best known for his emotional and outspoken eulogy at Diana's funeral, which provoked an unprecedented wave of applause through Westminster Abbey in London.
