King Charles Issues Shocking Statement Saying “Grief Can Cloud Reason” After Princess Diana’s Brother Exposes What He Said About Her

King Charles has issued an extraordinary public statement hitting back against the shocking claims Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, made in his upcoming memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.In an excerpt from the memoir, Earl Spencer writes about the aftermath of Princess Diana’s passing, saying he tried to discourage King Charles from having Prince Harry and Prince William walk in her funeral procession. Earl Spencer claims King Charles unloaded a “stream of anger” and “unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death. ‘Rest assured,’ he hissed, ‘we’ll forget her soon enough.’”Buckingham Palace has issued a statement in response, saying “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss.”Meanwhile, the Daily Mail claims that a “senior establishment figure” who is a “household name” said Earl Spencer “should be horse-whipped across town,” which…is a lot. A source close to King Charles also says the alleged comment is “just not in his nature and it certainly wasn’t in his nature at that time, when he was a man absolutely grief-stricken.”Swan Song: Diana, My Sister comes out Tuesday, September 22.
