(Mystery) Girl on a Train: Charles, Diana, and The Royal Train Scandal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Subscribe nowOne of the more amusing parts of the press pushback on Charles Spencer’s book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, is the horror that King Charles would ever utter anything out of pocket or insensitive at an inopportune time.
