Charles Spencer finally names the real people who really ‘snuffed out’ Diana

29 years since her death, Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer finally speaks out and names the people responsible for ending her life, and putting her in danger for months prior.

the name dropping comes in his own recent piece for the Daily Mail and includes some shell shocking claims. One accuses people of ‘snuffing’ her out, and then making her boyfriend Dodi ‘collateral damage’. While the other recalls his anguish the night it happened, not as an Earl or public figure—but as a brother to the People’s Princess.

A few paragraphs in did he name names and said, “To many, the death of an icon who had become a backdrop to their lives might have been too bewildering to comprehend that morning.”

“But to me, awake for hours,” he said, “it was immediately clear that the paparazzi had recklessly endangered, then snuffed out, Diana’s life, claiming the driver and Dodi as collateral damage.”

What is pertinent to mention about this piece is that it also goes on to detail the phone call Spencer had with the King that night, as well as other shocking details that are potentially to be revealed in more detail in his upcoming book Swan Song.
