Britain's King Charles seemed like a lottery winner following the passing of his late first wife Diana, according to her brother's forthcoming book, new excerpts of which were released on Thursday. In the Daily Mail, Charles Spencer described the then-Prince Charles as "giddily elated" in the immediate aftermath of Diana's death in 1997.
This elation might have been due to the perception that it opened the door for him to marry again, according to the excerpts published by the Daily Mail. Charles took the unprecedented step of responding to criticism on Wednesday through a spokesperson, stating that grief could affect one's reasoning, judgment, and memory. However, no new comments were forthcoming from the king regarding the latest excerpts, which also mentioned that Diana visited a site of many suicides on Britain's south coast, but her love for her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, prevented her from going further.
Spencer wrote, "It is a sad fact that, in her later years, Diana drove herself more than once to Beachy Head, the highest chalk sea cliff in England, while contemplating ending it all." Diana was reportedly considered a suicide risk.
