Charles 'giddily elated' on night Diana was killed, her brother claims
Princess Diana's brother has accused King Charles III of sounding "giddily elated, like a lottery winner" on the night his ex-wife was killed in a car crash almost three decades ago.
Prince Charles was reportedly ecstatic on the night Princess Diana tragically lost her life in 1997, according to an explosive claim made by her brother, Charles Spencer. The allegations were published in Spencer's upcoming memoir, titled "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister." Spencer described Charles as sounding "giddily elated," akin to a lottery winner, during the somber moment.
He claimed that Charles had informed his younger brothers, William and Harry, of Diana's death first thing in the morning at Balmoral, a demeanor that seemed out of touch with the gravity of the situation. Spencer's assertions have reignited a long-standing feud between Charles and the Royal Family, with Buckingham Palace dismissing the allegations as part of a "war of words."
The book is set to be released soon, further putting Charles under scrutiny amidst a tumultuous period for the British monarchy.
