Earl Spencer, brother of Princess Diana, has made explosive claims in his new memoir that King Charles III sounded "giddily elated" after learning of Diana's death in 1997. The allegations, detailed in the book *Swan Song: Diana, My Sister*, suggest Charles was unusually happy following the tragic event. These claims have sparked a public confrontation between Spencer and the royal family, with Buckingham Palace dismissing the assertions as "unfounded."
Spencer claims he received a call from Charles shortly after Diana's death, during which the king expressed an odd sense of joy. The book also alleges that Charles was aware of the public's growing sympathy for Diana and reportedly said she would be "quickly forgotten." These statements have led to accusations that the king was dismissive of his late wife's legacy.
Further revelations in the memoir suggest that Charles may have been more involved in the planning of Diana's funeral than previously thought. Spencer claims the king had an "odd wish" for the funeral arrangements, which included the involvement of William and Harry. These claims have intensified the ongoing scrutiny of the royal family's behavior during and after Diana's death.
The controversy has also drawn attention to Prince Harry, who reportedly knew about the book's contents before its release. This has added another layer of tension between the royal family and Diana's surviving relatives. The situation continues to unfold as the public awaits further developments.
