Charles Spencer Says He Rewrote Diana’s Eulogy in 90 Minutes and Cut Murdoch Reference

In a new podcast interview, he recalls calling King Charles "the other parent" to underscore the duty he felt toward William and Harry.

Overview

  • He says he abandoned a conventional tribute and quickly rewrote the speech to "speak for" his sister rather than about her.
  • He recounts flying overnight from Cape Town "in bits," with a flight attendant helping him as he returned to prepare the address.
  • He initially tried to find someone else to deliver the eulogy, then was told by his mother that the family had decided it would be him.
  • He confirms removing a planned passage about Rupert Murdoch, calling it unnecessary because it shifted attention away from Diana.
  • He describes viewing himself as Diana’s chosen guardian for her sons and refers to King Charles as "the other parent" while recalling that responsibility.
