- Princess Diana's brother is selling copies of the eulogy that he gave at his funeral at the gift shop of his estate.
- Yesterday was the 22nd anniversary of Princess Diana's death.
Yesterday marked the 22nd anniversary of Princess Diana's tragic death, which seems to have been observed privately by both Prince William and Prince Harry, who did not share any commemorative messages about the day on social media. And that makes total sense, it's a painful and sad anniversary for them (and many others who loved and admired Diana).
What makes sense less, however, is the way that Princess Diana's brother, Earl Charles Spencer, has been commemorating the day-which is by selling copies of the eulogy that he read at his funeral in Westminster Abbey to fans.
Daily Mail That's what Althorp House estate gift shop in Northamptonshire can buy the eulogy-packaged in a blue book and wrapped with a ceremonial ribbon-for £ 30 (or roughly $ 36). The book is entitled 'Earl Spencer's Tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales' and for your convenience (I guess?) It can also be purchased online.
To make things even weirder, visitors shared that one day Charles "sets up a booth to sign copies for visiting customers," with one visitor sharing, "He'll only sign his history books, which are around £ 20 each, or this eulogy for £ 30 He would not sign my £ 5.99 guidebook. " Um, what?
And while I do not know about the dynamics of Princess Diana's family, this seems a little tacky, and like literally no one in the royal family would be happy about it.Especially Prince Harry and Prince William.
So until the PR Palace Machine / Queen Elizabeth shuts down this whole operation, I'll be over here minding my own business not buying a signed copy of the eulogy.
