Charles told Diana he didn't love her before their wedding and called her 'chubby' - Earl Spencer claims
Spencer says Charles voiced contempt for Diana and angered him over funeral plans, while palace aides dispute the account.
- Earl Spencer claims in his upcoming book that Charles showed contempt for Diana, alleging he sounded "giddily elated like a lottery winner" when phoning shortly after her death in 1997.
- Following Diana's death in Paris in 1997, Spencer alleges Charles unleashed "pent-up contempt" during their conversation, while claiming others at the Palace were also "relieved" she had passed away.
- The author alleges Charles subjected Spencer to a "stream of anger" after Spencer insisted Diana would not have wanted her sons William and Harry, then aged 15 and 12, to walk in her funeral procession.
- Buckingham Palace issued a swift rebuttal on Wednesday, stating "fraternal grief can cloud reason." Former communications secretary Julian Payne disputed the allegations, saying "It's just not language that I recognise."
- Media coverage likened the Palace's response to Queen Elizabeth's 2021 statement that "some recollections may vary." Sunday Times royal editor Roya Nikkhah told the BBC the monarchy must weigh whether to ignore such claims or respond directly.
