Earl Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother, writes in a memoir that he regrets not naming Dodi Fayed during the eulogy at Diana’s funeral. He says he praises Dodi as someone who was “kind” to Diana and describes the final moments before the Paris crash as showing “gentle playfulness.”
The reports present Spencer’s comments as a new reflection on how he chose to speak at the time of Diana’s death. They do not dispute the overall account of the funeral remarks, but they focus on what Spencer now says he would do differently in referencing Dodi.
Across the outlet coverage provided here, the central emphasis remains on Spencer’s retrospective regret and his portrayal of Dodi’s relationship with Diana. Both sources frame the comments as part of Spencer’s memoir and cite his character assessments of Dodi and the couple’s final images prior to the 1997 crash in Paris.
