Battle Royal: Shots Fired in Memoir of Diana's Brother
Spencer says the book details a heated call with Charles and concerns for Prince Harry, while Buckingham Palace issued a rare rebuttal.
- On Tuesday, Earl Charles Spencer released his memoir, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," detailing his relationship with the late Princess Diana. Buckingham Palace responded Wednesday, stating they "do not comment on books as a matter of principle."
- Following Diana's 1997 death, Spencer claims King Charles sounded "giddily elated" during a phone call rather than distressed. He writes that Charles remarked, "Rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough!" during the conversation.
- The memoir asserts Diana suffered from ADHD and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, while claiming Charles acted like a "petulant child" during past conversations. Spencer also alleges Diana was "dreadfully hurt" when stripped of her "Her Royal Highness" title.
- Spencer recalls his concerns for 12-year-old Prince Harry and 15-year-old Prince William during their mother's funeral procession in 1997. He observed a "lack of obvious care" for the grieving boys during the ceremony.
- Commentator Jennie Bond called the memoir a "vindictive account," noting there are "usually two sides to a conversation and a story." Her comment reflects skepticism about the Earl's sole perspective on historical events.
