{"book":{"book":"Swan Song","author":"Charles Spencer","publicationYear":"","description":"Charles Spencer paints an intimate and personal portrait of his late sister, Diana, Princess of Wales, nearly three decades after her death. The book provides a deep dive into Diana's childhood and early family life. Spencer explores his belief that his sister lived with undiagnosed learning differences that went unrecognized at the time. It examines how early criticism from teachers significantly shaped Diana's identity and sense of self. Additionally, the work reflects on her singular parenting style and Spencer's enduring vow to care for Prince William and Prince Harry in her absence.","image":"https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims3/default/strip/false/crop/2160x2160+0+0/resize/3000/quality/66/format/jpg/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F6a%2F41%2Ff013d22e4031bca0dc6de1e773d7%2F9b5afdb7-174f-44ef-b893-9153d58727bf.jpg","date":"2026-10-14"}}
