Earl Spencer’s memoir about his late sister, Princess Diana, titled *Swan Song: Diana, My Sister*, goes on sale across the UK on Tuesday. Multiple outlets report that copies are marked down to around half price very soon after release, with at least one retailer in London discounting the book just hours later.

The book has also drawn attention beyond its pricing, with coverage highlighting that it has sparked controversy and prompted a dispute involving the palace. Some reports describe the memoir as making allegations that relate to members of the royal family, while other details are not consistent across outlets. Overall, the differing emphasis centers on either the early discounting by retailers or the broader reaction to the memoir’s claims.

Across sources, there is agreement on the basics: the memoir is released on Tuesday and is quickly discounted. The tone and focus vary between outlets, with some concentrating on the commercial offer while others foreground the public and institutional response to the book’s content.
