Earl Spencer, brother of late Princess Diana, has reignited a long-standing feud with Buckingham Palace by revealing new claims about his late sister's brother, Prince Charles. In his upcoming memoir, *Swan Song: Diana, My Sister*, Spencer alleges that Charles "sounded giddily elated, like a lottery winner" upon learning of Diana's death. The claim, first reported by *Today* and *The Sun*, contradicts official accounts and has drawn strong denials from Buckingham Palace.
Spencer's book, which is being serialised in the *Daily Mail*, also details a tense exchange between him and Charles during the planning of Diana's funeral. The alleged confrontation, described as emotional and heated, adds to the ongoing narrative of strained relationships within the royal family. The book also includes previously undisclosed letters, where Spencer accused Diana of "manipulation and deceit," and criticized his first wife, Victoria, for being "thin and certainly thick."
The revelations have reignited public interest in the royal family's private dynamics. While Buckingham Palace has dismissed the claims as "unfounded," the memoir continues to fuel speculation about the true nature of the relationships between the royals. The book's release marks another chapter in the ongoing saga of Diana's legacy and the complex family dynamics that have shaped it.
