New books with 'revelations' about Princess Diana stolen in the Netherlands

Four copies of a new book about Princess Diana authored by her brother, Charles Spencer, were stolen from a truck in the Netherlands during a driver's rest stop. Publishers have implemented strict measures to prevent the content from leaking before the book's official release on September 22.

Four copies of the Dutch edition of a new book about Princess Diana, titled Zwanenzang, have been stolen from a transport truck in the Netherlands. The theft occurred while the driver was taking a mandatory break and sleeping in his cabin at a parking area. Publisher Overamstel confirmed that security measures were in place during the transport. Following the incident, which was first reported by the Daily Mail, British publisher Penguin Michael Joseph was notified and has since taken precautions to prevent the book's contents from leaking prematurely.

The book was written by Charles Spencer, Diana's brother, and is scheduled for release on September 22. Spencer decided to write the memoir after receiving constant interview requests regarding the late princess, who died in a 1997 car accident in Paris. The author stated his goal is to share the truth about his sister from his personal perspective, aiming to speak on her behalf in a positive manner as he did during his eulogy.
