King Charles and Prince William allegedly feel that they “won” against Charles Spencer. Sources have claimed that the controversy surrounding the Earl’s memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, has convinced the King and his elder son that they need not be concerned about the book’s criticism of the Royal Family.
Charles Spencer’s piling book problems have reportedly made King Charles and Prince William feel victorious
The rising problems around Charles Spencer‘s book are reportedly making King Charles and Prince William feel victorious. Swan Song: Diana, My Sister faced a price cut, going on sale for $19 at Waterstones in the UK. This is half its recommended retail price of $37. Furthermore, TGJones has also put an introductory discount of 50 percent on the book.
Piers Morgan threatened legal action on the memoir over an admitted error. Spencer apologized to Morgan for wrongfully claiming that the British journalist’s involvement in the publication of intrusive photographs of Princess Diana. A royal source claimed to RadarOnline, “There is a feeling that the Palace doesn’t need to get dragged into a prolonged public fight with Charles Spencer because events surrounding the book are now speaking for themselves.”
“Piers challenging a clear factual error, Charles having to apologize, and the prospect of legal action have inevitably raised questions about the book’s accuracy,” the source further added. “From a PR perspective, people around the King and William feel the argument has effectively been won without them having to say very much at all – and they feel like they are having the last laugh about the whole affair, seeing that the price of his book has already been slashed so dramatically.”
In his book, Spencer claimed that the then-Prince Charles said “we’ll forget her soon enough” after Princess Diana’s passing in 1997. Buckingham Palace issued a statement disputing this claim. The statement said the King was “mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise.”
