In this deeply personal @CBS interview, Charles Spencer remembers Diana as a brilliant mother and a woman who remained unmistakably herself, even under the pressure of global scrutiny.
He also speaks candidly about the memories and revelations shared in #SwanSong: Diana, My Sister, as well as the public response the memoir has prompted.

Lies enslave. Truth liberates. But finding truth takes courage. It means challenging our own ideologies, putting facts over opinion, and admitting when we are wrong. And having worked hard to find the truth, it takes even more courage to speak it.
The battle for truth is real. Seek truth wherever it may be found. Then speak it wisely, lovingly and courageously.
An animated reading from my book, Force for Good: The Power of Healthy Masculinity. @PenguinBooksSA
