King Charles is reportedly refusing to stay silent as fresh claims from Charles Spencer‘s upcoming memoir continue to stir controversy. The latest allegations about Princess Diana’s marriage and the royal family have already prompted the rare step of a public Buckingham Palace response. Now, insiders claim the monarch is prepared to push back even harder despite warnings that the dispute could escalate further.
King Charles insists Charles Spencer will ‘face consequences’ for spreading lies in Diana memoir, per source
According to Woman’s Day, King Charles’ frustration has intensified as new excerpts from Charles Spencer’s memoir, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” continue to emerge. The book includes several claims about Diana’s marriage to the then-Prince Charles and the royal family’s handling of events after her death in 1997.
Buckingham Palace recently broke with its usual practice by publicly responding to one of the allegations. The statement rejected Spencer’s recollection that Charles allegedly said Diana would be forgotten soon after her death.
The palace instead said grief can “cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory” over time. The unusual response was widely seen as a firm rebuttal to the memoir’s claims. However, insiders believe the statement was only the beginning. “The fact that he made a statement shows just how enraged he is,” a source claimed. “Everyone told him not to dignify this with a response, but that just wasn’t an option; he had to speak out.”
The insider added that King Charles initially wanted to issue a stronger response. Advisers reportedly convinced him to soften the palace’s wording before it was released. Despite those efforts, the source claimed the monarch remains determined to defend himself.
“He may end up facing more damaging claims, but he says he won’t be intimidated,” the insider alleged. “He’s vowing to fight back much harder… insisting that Diana’s brother will face consequences for spreading what he insists are bald-face lies.”
Royal expert Phil Dampier also questioned the timing of Spencer’s memoir. He suggested that “money and revenge” motivated the book. Furthermore, he questioned why these allegations are resurfacing nearly three decades after Princess Diana’s death. The memoir is set for release on September 22, with further revelations expected to draw continued attention.
