Earl Spencer (Charles Spencer) says he could write a “hit piece” about the royal family, but that “that’s not my job,” in response to reactions to his new book. The book, *Swan Song: Diana, My Sister*, is published on Tuesday and makes multiple claims about his late sister, Princess Diana.

The coverage aligns on the broad point that Spencer presents his work as something other than a sensational attack. However, the provided excerpts do not detail the specific claims in the book or include quotes beyond the framing about not writing a “hit piece,” leaving the particular substance and how the royal family or others respond not covered in these sources.
