  "summary": "Piers Morgan is planning to sue Charles Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana, over claims made in his memoir \"Swan Song: Diana, My Sister\". The book has generated significant attention in the UK, with Spencer making several explosive allegations about the royal family. According to New Straits Times, Spencer claims that King Charles III sounded \"giddily elated\" and \"like a lottery winner\" when he was informed of Princess Diana's death in 1997.\n\nSpencer also alleges that Charles said Diana would soon be forgotten. The book has prompted a reaction from Buckingham Palace, which has stated that the king was \"mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, judgment and memory\". Spencer has said he wrote the book to \"set the record straight\" and to speak on Diana's behalf.\n\nPiers Morgan has expressed outrage over the claims, with Deadline reporting that he is planning to take legal action against Spencer. Morgan has questioned the credibility of the book, suggesting that people should not believe anything in it.",
