New Book by the Brother of Diana, Former Princess of Wales, Prompts War of Words with King Charles
Spencer says the book is his account of Diana’s life and marriage, while Buckingham Palace rejects his claims about Charles.
- On Tuesday, Charles Earl Spencer released his memoir "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," reigniting tensions with the British royal family over his late sister, Princess Diana. Buckingham Palace issued a rare, strongly-worded rebuttal to the book's explosive claims.
- Spencer's memoir alleges King Charles was "giddily elated" after Diana's 1997 death and told him, "Rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough." These claims revisit a painful chapter for the House of Windsor.
- Defending his work, Spencer, 62, asserted he wrote it as his duty "as an eyewitness to history." Buckingham Palace rejected his version, stating, "His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason."
- Spencer claims Diana suffered from ADHD and "Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria," described as "an intense emotional pain in the face of others' rejection." He also objected to Prince William and Prince Harry walking behind their mother's coffin.
- Nearly 30 years after the fatal Paris crash, Diana remains a global icon whose life generates intense debate. Critics argue that despite Spencer's criticism of the British tabloid system, his memoir's promotion relies on that same ecosystem.
