Why Former Highgrove Butler Doesn't Believe Earl Spencer's Shock Claim About King
Grant Harrold says he does not believe Earl Spencer’s account, citing his own memories of Charles III preserving Diana’s belongings for William, Harry and their children.
- Former royal butler Grant Harrold and Diana's ex-butler Paul Burrell disputed claims in Earl Spencer's new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, released Tuesday, September 22, which alleges King Charles III reacted insensitively to Princess Diana's 1997 death.
- In his book, Earl Spencer alleges the then-Prince of Wales "sounded giddily elated- like a lottery winner" after the crash, and claims the King argued against Princes William and Harry walking behind their mother's coffin, stating, "We'll forget her soon enough."
- Challenging the book's claims, Harrold stated he logged many items of Princess Diana at Highgrove after her death to ensure they were "kept safely, securely" for William and Harry, questioning why the King would do that if he wanted her forgotten.
- Paul Burrell, who was in Paris following the tragedy, rejected the assertion that King Charles was "giddy with excitement," recounting instead that he saw the King "devastated" and "pale" while paying his respects to the late Princess Diana.
- Buckingham Palace stated, "His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason," while Burrell suggested the memoir focuses "more about Earl Spencer than it is about his sister Diana," highlighting the siblings' fractured dynamic.
