Princess Diana’s brother has made a series of bombshell claims about King Charles in his new memoir. Among them is a startling revelation that sheds light on the monarch’s love for his late former wife. The book “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister” is what Charles Spencer calls his final eyewitness account, revisiting the days surrounding Diana’s fatal 1997 car crash in Paris.
Princess Diana’s brother claims King Charles’ feelings for his sister were not actually true
Princess Diana‘s brother has revealed King Charles‘ alleged cruelty toward her in the early days of their relationship in his new memoir.
According to RadarOnline.com, Charles Spencer claims that the then-Prince of Wales shamed Diana over her weight. He alleges that shortly after the engagement, the reigning monarch made a hurtful comment about her figure.
The Earl also recounts that on the night before their 1981 wedding, Charles spoke to his sister. The future King informed Diana, “She needed to know that he was very happy to marry her, but he was not actually in love with her.”
Later, during a visit to Kensington Palace, the 9th Earl Spencer witnessed another moment. He heard King Charles shout, “Get her to turn off that infernal racket!” At the time, Princess Diana was playing her disco music, per SheKnows.
Additionally, someone familiar with the late royal’s story stated, “What makes these memories particularly painful is how early they occurred. This wasn’t years into a marriage that had already collapsed–Charles is alleged to have been making comments that deeply hurt Diana before they had even reached the altar.”
They noted that Princess Diana was very young and suddenly under immense pressure after marrying the royal heir. Facing criticism about her appearance and learning her future husband was not in love with her would have been heartbreaking.
The source added, “Charles Spencer’s account presents a marriage where some of the fundamental problems were there virtually from the beginning. Whatever happened subsequently, that is an extraordinarily sad foundation on which to begin married life.”
