Earl Spencer has claimed in his new memoir that Queen Elizabeth II offered to restore Princess Diana's "Her Royal Highness" title on the day of her funeral. The claim comes as part of a series of explosive revelations about the late monarch's relationship with her former spouse, Prince Charles. According to Spencer, the Queen's private secretary, Robert Fellowes, extended the offer, which Diana had lost after her 1996 divorce from Charles.
The memoir, titled *Swan Song: Diana, My Sister*, also alleges that Charles was "giddily elated" following Diana's death in a 1997 car crash. Spencer claims Charles reportedly expressed joy, likening his reaction to that of a lottery winner, possibly due to the freedom the death might have granted him to remarry. These claims have sparked renewed public interest in the royal family's history.
Spencer's book has drawn both attention and skepticism. Some have questioned the validity of his assertions, particularly regarding Charles's emotional state. Nonetheless, the revelations continue to fuel ongoing discussions about the private lives of the royal family and the legacy of Diana, whose death remains a defining moment in modern British history.
