In his forthcoming book “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, makes startling claims about King Charles III’s reaction to Diana’s death in 1997. Spencer alleges that Charles, then Prince of Wales, appeared “giddily elated” following the tragic car crash that killed Diana. This revelation is part of a series of explosive allegations in the book, which also includes claims that Charles told Diana he didn’t love her before their wedding and that she contemplated suicide multiple times. Spencer suggests that Charles’s reaction might have been due to his newfound freedom to pursue Camilla, whom he later married. Buckingham Palace has responded to these claims, emphasizing the impact of grief on memory and judgment. The book’s release is expected to create significant challenges for the royal family, as they navigate the public’s reaction to these sensational allegations.
