Charles Spencer's memoir about Princess Diana publishes Tuesday, renewing claims of royal callousness and regret over Martin Bashir's Panorama interview.
- Earl Spencer's memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister hits shelves Tuesday and is rising up the Amazon best-seller chart.
- Spencer wrote he feels "endless regret" that his warnings failed to stop Martin Bashir's Panorama interview with Diana, calling the journalist a "selfish and disgusting fraudster."
- He argues the interview is directly linked to Diana's death, saying her driver was dismissed after Bashir falsely claimed he worked as an informer.
- Buckingham Palace issued an unusually robust denial of the book's claims that King Charles was callous after Diana's death.
