Charles Spencer has reportedly drawn criticism for allegedly portraying King Charles in a “nasty” way in his memoir about Princess Diana. The report came after Buckingham Palace gave an urgent response to Earl Spencer’s claims about the monarch in the upcoming bombshell memoir, titled “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.”
Expert brands Charles Spencer’s King Charles portrayal in Princess Diana memoir ‘horrendous’
The portrayal of King Charles in Charles Spencer’s upcoming Princess Diana memoir, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister”, has reportedly received criticism for being “horrendous.” As reported by The U.S. Sun, in the upcoming memoir about his late sister, Earl Spencer has alleged that the monarch said, “rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough” just days after Princess Diana’s death. This claim allegedly led the palace to issue an immediate response.
Per the publication, a palace spokesperson stated, “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgement and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.”
In the meantime, Angela Levin, a royal expert, reportedly praised this “unprecedented” response from the palace. According to the news outlet, the royal expert branded the claims in Earl Spencer’s memoir as “horrendous.”
Furthermore, Angela Levin also claimed that the monarch always had love for Princess Diana, even after their marriage failed. Per the publication, the royal biographer and expert explained, “The King has always loved Diana. Their marriage didn’t work, but that didn’t mean he hated her.” The expert further expressed, “To portray him as having been so nasty to Diana is horrendous.”
Meanwhile, according to Angela Levin, King Charles, who was Prince Charles at the time, “fought” for a “royal plane” so that he could bring Princess Diana home after her fatal accident in Paris. “That is not a man who couldn’t care less what happened to her,” the royal expert noted.
