King Charles, Prince William 'furious' as Princess Diana's brother unleashes explosive claims: experts
King Charles III and Prince William are said to be furious at Charles Spencer's new book, which makes damning allegations about the monarch and reopens decades-old wounds within the royal family.The claim was made by several royal experts who spoke to Fox News Digital after "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister" was published on Tuesday.In it, Princess Diana's brother says he argued with then-Prince Charles over palace plans to have William and Prince Harry, then 15 and 12, walk behind their mother's coffin during her 1997 funeral procession.Most notably, Spencer alleged that after Diana died at age 36 in a car crash, Charles "sounded giddily elated — like a lottery winner." He wrote that Charles "went ballistic" during an argument they had over William and Harry.
Spencer said Charles then hissed, "Rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough."KING CHARLES RESPONDS TO CHARLES SPENCER'S CLAIMS ABOUT PRINCESS DIANA IN A RARE STATEMENTCharles Spencer says King Charles III "gaslit" him in response to his claims about an alleged conversation they had following Princess Diana's death.(Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images)"What I am hearing concerning the reaction around both households is frustration and anger, but for slightly different reasons," Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube's "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered," told Fox News Digital."For the king, I think there is genuine anger at what amounts to an attack on his character almost 30 years after Diana's death," she explained. "But Charles has also lived with being cast as the villain in the Diana story for decades.
Unfortunately, being portrayed as the bad guy in somebody else's version of this story is not new territory for him.For Prince William, there is an additional sense of betrayal.
This is his uncle, who famously stood at Diana's funeral and promised that her 'blood family' would protect William and Harry."Fox News may be compensated for or earn a commission if you buy through our referral links."Swan Song" by Charles Spence...
