The Independent • • world
Key Points:
- Earl Spencer’s memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, includes explosive allegations about King Charles’ conduct before and after Princess Diana’s death, portraying the King as indifferent and self-interested.
- The Earl claims King Charles acted “giddily elated” like a “lottery winner” shortly after Diana’s death, suggesting his initial reaction was relief at being free to marry another woman.
- Spencer alleges the King told him “we’ll forget her soon enough” during a heated argument about Diana’s funeral arrangements, a statement Spencer insists is true and shared with close friends and family at the time.
- The memoir expresses concern for Prince Harry’s lack of care and support following Diana’s death, highlighting how the young prince was left to cope alone with his grief.
- Spencer rejected the late Queen’s offer to restore Diana’s HRH title posthumously, viewing it as a “consolation award” that came too late, and describes the Queen’s initial reaction to Diana’s accident as “tetchy” and dismissive.
