Earl Spencer: King Charles "Gaslit" Me Over Diana Claims! 👑

A new royal storm is brewing as Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, has publicly accused King Charles of “gaslighting” him. This follows a highly anticipated memoir from the Earl, which features startling revelations about the Royal Family's response in the aftermath of Diana's tragic death.

The claims have ignited a fresh wave of scrutiny over historical events within the monarchy.

Earl Spencer alleges that King Charles, then Prince Charles, made a callous remark shortly after Diana's passing, stating, “we’ll forget her soon enough.” This explosive detail, among others in his memoir, prompted a rare public statement from Buckingham Palace. The Palace's response, which did not directly address the claim but noted that “the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason,” has only intensified the public debate.

In a direct rebuttal to the Palace, Earl Spencer labeled their statement an “astonishingly provocative and below the belt” attempt to discredit his account without a direct denial. He further described it as a “rather poor imitation of the ‘recollections may vary’ quote,” a subtle nod to the late Queen Elizabeth’s response to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s allegations in their Oprah Winfrey interview, suggesting a lack of originality and elegance in the current Palace's approach.

The Earl has steadfastly maintained the truthfulness of his claims, telling the BBC that he is “telling the truth” and describing the alleged comment from the King as “monstrous.” He recalled an intense argument with the then-Prince Charles over the sensitive issue of whether young Princes William and Harry should walk behind their mother’s coffin during the funeral procession. Spencer recounted that Charles “went ballistic,” ranting about his family’s sense of duty, before delivering the cutting remark about forgetting Diana.

The memoir also touches upon Earl Spencer's personal observations during Diana's funeral, expressing concern over a “lack of obvious care” for a 12-year-old Prince Harry at such a traumatic time. These details add another layer to the complex narrative surrounding the Royal Family's handling of Diana's death and its lasting impact on her children and brother.

The book's release ensures that the legacy and memory of Princess Diana continue to be a potent force in royal discussions.
