Book Synopsis



Hermosa. Querida. Perseguida. La extraordinaria vida y muerte de Diana, contada por su hermano, Charles.

«Cuando me preguntan: "¿Qué significó crecer junto a Diana?", mi primer pensamiento siempre es "Pero si no sé qué significa no crecer junto a ella..."».

En septiembre de 1997, Charles Spencer se puso en pie en la abadía de Westminster ante un mundo que observaba y compartió su dolor por la pérdida de su querida hermana Diana. Ahora, casi treinta años más tarde, cuenta la extraordinaria historia de su vida junto a ella y la trágica semana de su muerte. Durante su infancia, Charles y Diana, los menores de los Spencer, fueron inseparables; en secreto, se llamaban el uno al otro Duch y Carlos.

Unidos por una profunda confianza mutua, juntos corretearon por la finca familiar, soportaron internados muy duros, sobrevivieron a niñeras aterradoras y se ayudaron a superar la tristeza por el divorcio de sus padres.

Pero todo cambió cuando Diana se casó con el príncipe de Gales, hoy rey Carlos III, y de la noche a la mañana se convirtió en un icono global. Charles presenció cómo su hermana mayor se entregaba a los marginados del mundo y disfrutaba del papel de madre de sus adorados hijos.

Sin embargo, perseguida por una prensa feroz mientras el matrimonio real se desmoronaba, Diana quedó abandonada a su suerte. Charles siempre estuvo a su lado... hasta aquella noche fatídica de agosto de 1997.

En El canto del cisne, Charles Spencer ofrece el retrato más íntimo, afectuoso y sincero que se ha escrito hasta el momento sobre su hermana, la princesa Diana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Beautiful. Beloved. Hunted. The extraordinary life and death of Diana, as told by her brother, Charles.

"When asked, 'What was it like, growing up with Diana?', my first thought is always, But I don't know what it was like not to grow up with her..."

In September 1997, Charles Spencer stood in Westminster Abbey before a watching world and shared his grief at losing his beloved sister, Diana. Now, nearly thirty years later, he tells the astonishing story of his life with Diana and the tragic week of her death.

In childhood, Charles and Diana, the youngest Spencers, were inseparable - secretly calling one another Duch and Carlos. As each other's closest confidantes, they roamed the family estate, endured extremely challenging boarding schools, survived terrifying nannies, and helped each other through the agony of their parents' divorce.

Yet everything changed when Diana married the Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, and overnight became a global icon. Charles saw his older sister serve the world's marginalized and relish being mother to her treasured sons.

But, pursued by a barbaric press as her royal marriage crumbled, she was left desperately alone. Charles always tried to be there for Diana - until that black night in August, 1997.

In Swan Song, Charles Spencer provides the most intimate, loving, and honest portrait yet of his sister.
