Prince William ‘furious’ over Earl Spencer’s Diana bombshells as fresh royal family row erupts

Prince William is reportedly furious over the explosive claims made by his uncle Earl Spencer in a forthcoming memoir about Princess Diana, with the controversy threatening to reopen painful wounds within the Royal Family.

The Prince of Wales is said to be deeply unhappy with revelations contained in Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, in which Diana’s brother revisits some of the most sensitive moments surrounding her death and the aftermath.

According to a report in Woman’s Day, William is particularly angered by Spencer’s account of a private telephone conversation with the then-Prince of Wales, Charles, following Diana’s death in 1997.

Spencer has claimed that Charles told him Diana would be forgotten “soon enough”.

The allegation has already prompted an unusual response from Buckingham Palace, which appeared to challenge the reliability of memories formed during periods of intense grief.

The Palace said King Charles was “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”.

Spencer, however, has refused to retreat from his version of events.

In a BBC interview, Diana’s brother insisted that he was telling the truth and said he remained certain about the words he remembered hearing from Charles.

The dispute has now dragged William into a controversy involving both his father and his mother’s family.

An unnamed source cited by Woman’s Day claimed William wants those involved to stop revisiting disputed events from the past.

The source alleged that the Prince believes both his uncle and his brother, Prince Harry, have contributed to renewed turmoil through their accounts of royal family history.

“William just wants everyone to stop lying and trying to re-write history,” the source claimed.

The source further alleged that William believes Harry and Spencer are “stirring up a hornet’s nest” through what it described as sensational claims about the past.

These are claims attributed to an unnamed source and have not been publicly confirmed by William or Kensington Palace.

Nevertheless, the allegations underline the extraordinary sensitivity surrounding Spencer’s memoir.

William and Harry were only teenagers when their mother died, and both have spoken publicly over the years about the profound impact of her death.

The latest controversy therefore touches on memories from a period when the brothers were still children dealing with unprecedented public grief.

For William, the timing may be particularly difficult.

The Prince of Wales has increasingly positioned himself as a senior figure in the modern monarchy, while his relationship with Harry has remained strained.

The publication of Swan Song risks reopening questions about the past just as the Royal Family is attempting to focus on its future.

The situation has also inevitably drawn comparisons with Harry’s 2023 memoir, Spare, which contained a series of highly personal revelations about his family and his relationship with William.

According to the unnamed source, some senior royals privately see Spencer’s book as another example of deeply personal family history being revisited publicly.

The source claimed William believes the latest revelations are “way below the belt and totally uncalled for”.

But the central dispute remains one of competing recollections.

Spencer maintains that his memory of the conversation with Charles is accurate.

Buckingham Palace has not directly addressed whether the alleged words were spoken, instead highlighting the possibility that grief can influence memory.

There is no public recording of the alleged conversation, leaving the competing accounts impossible to independently verify from the evidence currently available.

And that may be precisely why the controversy is proving so difficult to contain.

For William, the past is not simply history.

It is the story of his mother, his father, his brother and the family he has inherited.

With Spencer’s memoir still to be released in full, the Prince of Wales may now face renewed scrutiny over a family history that has repeatedly threatened to overshadow the monarchy’s present.

And as more revelations emerge, the question hanging over the Royal Family is whether Diana’s story can ever truly be left in the past.
