“I can tell you here and now, those are exactly the words he
said. I've only ever had two calls on the line with Prince
Charles at any stage of my life. I was hyper alert to what he was
saying, and those are precisely the words that he said, and I
promise that to you now. Genuinely, that is what he said.” Laura
Kuenssberg speaks to Earl Spencer, brother of Diana, Princess of
Wales. Diana was one of the most famous women in the world and
was once expected to become queen. Her campaigning broke with
royal convention and brought global attention to her chosen
causes. Relentlessly pursued by the press, she was admired and
attacked on a scale few public figures have experienced. Diana
died at the age of 36 after a car crash in Paris. Now, nearly 30
years on, her brother has decided to set out the story as he
remembers it. He attacks those he says harmed Diana, and what he
sees as the royal establishment’s failure to protect her.
Buckingham Palace has questioned whether grief has clouded his
judgement and memory. Earl Spencer defends his recollections and
explains why he believes his account must be placed on the
historical record. Presenter: Laura Kuenssberg Producer: Osman
