Piers Morgan has declared an “open royal w@r” between the Spencers and the Windsors as new details emerge ahead of the launch of Earl Charles Spencer’s explosive tell-all book. King Charles III is accused of intensively telling Earl Spencer days after Princess Diana’s death in 1997 that “we’ll forget her soon enough”, according to excerpts in the Daily Mail. The book, titled Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, is set to hit shelves next week and will reopen the late Princess of Wales’ traumatic death, written from the perspective of her own Spencer family.
The Palace has strongly pushed back, with a spokesperson later issuing a statement addressing the claims. It read: “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.”
My god.. these two lines from Earl Spencer’s book on Diana. Hard to imagine more incendiary claims, or ones more deliberately aimed to harm King Charles’ reputation. This is open Royal w@r now.
Ahead of the release, Piers Morgan has taken to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share his thoughts on the new excerpts which have been released online. He penned: “My God… the bombshells in here are off the charts… [two scared emojis].”
Hours later, he shared his own excerpt from the book, which he claims was “deliberately aimed” at the monarch. The extract read: “The phone rang constantly. Prince Charles caught me as I crossed the landing upstairs.
“Unlike my other callers, who were stunned, barely able to articulate their condolences and offers of help, he sounded giddily elated – like a lottery winner, I remember thinking at the time.”
Another fragment he shared read: “She looked up at me, nodded, and said quietly: ‘But, Carlos, my husband is in love with his valet’. I gulped. ‘Well, I guess, in that case, you really don’t have a choice’.
He captioned the post: “My God… these two lines from Earl Spencer’s book on Diana. Hard to imagine more incendiary claims, or ones more deliberately aimed to harm King Charles’ reputation. This is an open Royal w@r now.”
These claims are being strongly rejected by the Palace, who see it as being entirely out of character for a man with a deeply compassionate nature, who at the time was dealing with his own grief and that of their two sons. A spokesperson told the press: “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.”
Julian Payne, the monarch’s former communications secretary, told the BBC earlier this week that the King’s apparent comments in the book were “just not language that I recognise”. He said the “highly unusual” statement from the Palace demonstrated the “strength of feeling that there must have been for them to feel that they needed to go out there and correct it.”
