Earl Spencer accuses King Charles of gaslighting over Diana memoir row
–
Neutral summary
Charles Spencer, Princess Diana's brother, has accused King Charles III of gaslighting him after Buckingham Palace pushed back at his memoir claims. The book, 'Swan Song: Diana, My Sister', is due out Tuesday and is being serialised in the Daily Mail. Spencer alleges that in a phone call after Diana's 1997 death, the then-Prince Charles sounded 'euphoric, like a lottery winner' and said 'Don't worry, we'll have forgotten her soon'. He also claims Prince Harry 'spun out of control' after his mother's death and that 12-year-old Prince William received a 'lack of obvious care' on the funeral day. Buckingham Palace responded that the King 'is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can obscure reason', which Spencer dismissed as a 'poor imitation' of a 2021 statement about Harry and Meghan's interview. Queen Camilla, at her literary festival, called for unity, quoting the proverb 'If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together'. Spencer said his claims 'will be no surprise' to William and Harry, and that Harry and Meghan's experience 'echoes' what Diana went through. Piers Morgan slammed Spencer as 'shameless', while 'SNL UK' mocked the row in a sketch featuring King Charles and Diana.
