Princess Diana's brother claims Charles sounded "elated" after she died
Princess Diana's brother claims in his book that then-Prince Charles "sounded giddily elated" right after his ex-wife died in a Paris car crash.
In the forthcoming book "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister" by Charles Spencer, the late Princess Diana's brother asserts that King Charles III, then Prince Charles, sounded "giddily elated" or "as if he had won the lottery" immediately after his ex-wife's death in a Paris car accident in 1997. Spencer's claims are detailed in an upcoming interview on CBS Sunday Morning.
He suggests that Charles' seemingly positive reaction could be attributed to his newfound freedom to pursue Camilla, who later became Queen Camilla. Buckingham Palace, however, responded forcefully to the first allegation from Spencer's book, stating that the king is aware that grief can affect memory and judgment. The palace declined to comment further on the latest allegations.
Experts predict that Spencer's claims, including Charles' alleged admission of not loving Diana before their wedding and Diana's contemplated suicide, will spark controversy and be met with mixed reactions from the public.
