‘Like a lottery winner’: Charles ‘elated’ after Diana’s death, her brother’s new book claims
Earl Spencer’s book claims the then-Prince Charles seemed “giddily elated” in the immediate aftermath of Diana’s death in a car crash in 1997, possibly because he felt it meant he was freer to marry again.
Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, asserts that King Charles expressed "giddily elated" excitement upon learning of her passing in 1997, according to a forthcoming book. The royal family's spokesperson dismissed the claims, stating the King is aware that grief can cloud one's judgment and memory. Earl Spencer's memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, details personal recollections of the family's emotional turmoil around their sister's death, 30 years ago.
The book alleges Charles initially informed him and Princes William and Harry of Diana's death before they were told by others. Earl Spencer also claims his sister suffered from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, which may have contributed to the couple's troubled marriage.
