British royals Princes William and Harry will give readings at their mother Princess Dianas memorial service, to be held on Friday.
London, Aug 27 : British royals Princes William and Harry will give readings at their mother Princess Diana's memorial service, to be held on Friday.
Diana's sons have personally chosen the readings, which are said to be "traditional".
However, one person who will not be saying anything will be Diana's brother Earl Spencer, reports the Sun.
The Earl's eulogy at Diana's funeral in 1997 was seen as an attack on the Royal Family.
In his famous speech, Earl Spencer slammed Diana's former in-laws, and vowed to protect her sons Princes William and Harry.
He also said his sister was "the most haunted person of the modern age".
However, a decade after her death, the 43-year-old aristocrat insists that though he wishes that he had not delivered the speech now, he doesn't regret it.
"I'd much rather I hadn't had to deliver it at all, but when the moment came, I felt I had to step up for Diana. To be honest, I still feel I did the right thing," he earlier said.
"I know that when I die it will be the only thing I am remembered for.
"You can't speak your mind and then be offended when people don't agree with what you're saying," he added.
The Earl also spoke about the speculation that Diana's death was not accident, and about the forthcoming inquest, saying that the whole trial seemed "never-ending".
The memorial service to mark Diana's tenth death anniversary will take place on Friday at the Guards' Chapel in Wellington Barracks, London.
The 500 guests will include more than 30 members of the Royal Family, 12 of Di's godchildren, her godparents and all the bridesmaids and pageboys from her 1981 wedding.
Not included by the Princes were those members of Diana's staff who sold their story to the press.
Also not attending the service will be William and Harry's stepmother Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, who has pulled out following public outrage.
