Story summary

Charles Spencer, Princess Diana's brother and executor, clarified in a recent interview with People magazine that he informed both Prince Harry and Prince William "at the same time" about his upcoming book. The book includes their childhood experiences but does not compromise their privacy, according to Spencer. He mentioned that while Prince Harry was initially unaware of the book's existence until he visited Althorp House in July with wife Meghan Markle and their children Archie (7) and Lilibet (5), when informed about it, Harry reportedly asked if there were any potentially embarrassing details included about him. Spencer emphasized that neither brother had to approve the book content or its release, stressing that Harry was assured he wouldn't be embarrassed by anything in the publication.
