What happened
Charles Spencer is serializing a memoir about his sister, Princess Diana, in the Daily Mail. The book contains claims regarding the royal family, including allegations about King Charles III's conduct. Spencer claims that King Charles was gaslighting him after Buckingham Palace pushed back against claims that the King said, “we’ll forget her soon enough” after Diana died. The memoir also details how Diana's father had a romantic connection with future Queen Elizabeth II.
Why it matters
The publication of these claims challenges the official narrative surrounding the British monarchy. Buckingham Palace responded to the allegations by stating that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason. The controversy is playing out in a major international media market.
The book focuses on the life of Princess Diana and the events surrounding her life and death.
