It's a pity people don't think that her sons are alive and they loved their mother very much.
To make money by adding stories(unproved) to a book must upset them. Maybe we should all think how we would like our mother to be treated alive or dead.
Maybe at the time Diana should have thought about how her sons might feel in future when reading about her flirting with men! I'm playing devil's advocate here, since though I think she made a mistake by involving them in her battles with their father, I don't believe she owed her sons any duty with respect to what she did after she was separated from their father as long as it didn't amount to doing something disgraceful in public, and I don't consider the sort of flirting it seems she did to be disgraceful. William and Harry knew how unhappy Diana was in her marriage, and I think they would probably have been happy that she seemed happy flirting away like a carefree girl.
If this account does upset them, maybe they should grow thicker skins and grow up. Their mother was a separated adult at the time and perfectly entitled to flirt and even to seek happiness in a intimate relationship with a man if that was her choice.
And the fact these adult men might be upset by being confronted by accounts of their mother's private life that show she was a human being and not a saint, should not be reason for the biographers of the men she was associated with to refrain from mentioning her in their books.
