Earl Spencer accuses King of gaslighting him and being 'astonishingly provocative'
Spencer says Charles made the remark after Diana’s death and accuses Buckingham Palace of trying to discredit his memoir.
- On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace issued a rare statement regarding Earl Spencer’s new memoir, which includes explosive allegations about King Charles's conduct following the 1997 death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
- In the memoir, the Earl claims the then-Prince of Wales told him "we'll forget her soon enough" after Diana died. He also alleges the King ranted for a significant period during a dispute over family duty.
- Regarding funeral arrangements, Spencer describes the King going "ballistic" after he insisted Diana would not have wanted Prince William and Prince Harry, then aged 15 and 12, to walk in her funeral procession.
- Responding to the Palace's claim that "the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason," Spencer accused the King of gaslighting, calling the response a "rather poor imitation of the 'recollections may vary' quote."
- Insisting in a BBC interview released on Friday that he is "telling the truth," the Earl described the King’s comments as "monstrous" and claimed Diana would be "cheering from the rafters at this book.
