Secret tapes featuring Princess Diana could “pile even more troubles” onto King Charles and deepen the pressure surrounding the monarch. The claim comes ahead of the release of the late princess’s brother’s bombshell memoir. Charles Spencer’s book, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” reportedly contains scathing allegations about the reigning monarch and the wider royal family.
Secret Princess Diana tapes will reportedly put King Charles’ relationship with her back in the spotlight
A new three-part documentary will put King Charles‘ marriage to Princess Diana back in the spotlight. According to RadarOnline.com, “Diana Unheard” has obtained the former Princess of Wales’ private tapes where she shares her views on the then-Prince and the royal family.
The three-part series from Love Monday TV will focus on the 77-year-old monarch’s relationship with his first wife. Cineflix Rights is handling international distribution. Producers have secured hours of secret recordings from 1991 between Diana and her friend James Colthurst. Andrew Morton later used the material for his book “Diana: Her True Story.”
A palace insider alleged, “For Charles, these secret Diana tapes threaten to reopen an intensely difficult chapter just as the controversy surrounding Earl Spencer’s book has brought Diana and the breakdown of their marriage back into headlines. They will pile even more pain on Charles. Whatever Diana says about Charles in these recordings will be picked apart word by word.”
They noted that the tapes date back to an extremely unhappy period in the marriage. The recordings capture Princess Diana’s perspective at that time, not the complete story. The source warned that broadcasting such intimate material worldwide could easily obscure that nuance.
The royal source concluded with, “There is a sense that Charles cannot escape being pulled back into events from more than three decades ago. First there are allegations from Diana’s brother, and now there will be hours of Diana discussing her life and relationships in her own voice.”
Commenting on the project, Cineflix Rights executive Richard Life said that “Diana Unheard” stands out for a key reason. It features hours of intimate recordings of the late royal sharing her own story at a pivotal time.
