Earl Spencer, brother of Princess Diana, has claimed that the late Queen responded "tetchily" to the news of his sister's death. This revelation comes as part of a series of explosive claims in Spencer's new memoir, which has reignited discussions about the royal family's reaction to the 1997 tragedy. The book includes allegations that King Charles III made comments suggesting Diana would be forgotten "soon enough," a claim Spencer insists he is telling the truth about.
Spencer's assertions have drawn sharp criticism, with former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond calling the remarks "brutally hostile." The controversy has also highlighted Spencer's past pledge to never profit from Diana's death, which he has now seemingly contradicted by publishing the memoir. Despite his claims, the royal family has not publicly responded to the allegations.
The memoir has sparked renewed interest in the events surrounding Diana's death, including the circumstances of her fatal car crash and the subsequent funeral. Spencer's account adds a new layer to the ongoing narrative, though it remains unverified. The royal family's silence continues to fuel speculation and debate.
