For the first time, Charles Spencer has revealed the deeply moving eulogy he delivered for his late sister, Princess Diana, at her 1997 funeral was not the one he originally wrote – admitting he had planned “something very different.”
The 9th Earl Spencer, 61, recently opened up about his private memories – sharing new details about how he came to write the speech that became one of the most powerful tributes in modern royal history.
His eulogy, delivered at Westminster Abbey in front of a global audience of millions, spoke of Diana’s “selfless humanity” and included his pledge to protect her two sons, then‑Prince William, 15, and Prince Harry, 12.
