The brother of the late Princess Diana, Charles Spencer, has caused discontent within royal circles with his memoir «The Swan Song: Diana, My Sister». According to a source, King Charles III was particularly affected by the book’s content.
«Everyone in the palace is completely shocked that Diana’s brother published such false information», - an insider told Us Weekly, claiming that the 77-year-old monarch is «devastated» by the revelations. «He does not recognize the person Spencer portrays».
Spencer’s book was published on September 22, in which the 62-year-old Earl describes his relationship with Diana up until her tragic death in 1997. In one excerpt, Spencer claims that Charles was «delighted» when they spoke a few days after the accident and allegedly said that Diana would soon be forgotten.
According to the source, Spencer’s literary work does not reflect reality and does not represent the character of the king. «Everyone who was around Charles at that time knows that he suffered from her death and fell into depression for many years», - the insider added. «It was an emotional time for everyone who knew her or admired her from afar».
The book «The Swan Song» has caused «a lot of sadness, anger, and pain» among members of the royal family, but according to the source, it is difficult for them to respond in any way. «They have taken the revelations very hard and feel helpless», - the insider noted.
On the eve of the book’s publication, Buckingham Palace issued a rare statement mentioning that «the pain of loss can cloud the mind and affect memory». Spencer, for his part, condemned this statement and affirmed the truth of his words. «I was very upset by it because I considered it not only arrogant but also insincere», - he said in an interview with ABC News.
