In a recent interview about his latest book, the 9th Earl Spencer said his reaction stemmed from King Charles’s alleged remarks about Princess Diana, known as “those five words.” Speaking about his memoir on CNN”Source with Katelyn Collins,” Diana’s brother insisted, “she really said that. I call it ‘those five words’. And I told people close to me about it at that time. It was very shocking.”
The earl further said that the king’s alleged comments reportedly came after a disagreement over funeral arrangements. The controversy was over whether Prince William and Prince Harry, then only 15 and 12 years old, should walk behind their mother’s coffin in public.
He shared, “I thought it was an absurd idea and really not right. And he (King) saw things very differently. And we had our differences.” Althorp’s boss added, “And we all know he’s angry. You might remember the scene where he loses his temper with a fountain pen while signing a document after he becomes king.”
Charles Spencer added, “It was probably one of those moments for him. But for me, as a grieving brother, it was very shocking.” However, his explosive claims have prompted a rare rebuttal from Buckingham Palace, stating, “Sibling grief can cloud reasoning, impair judgment and color memory.”
