Earl Spencer has referred to King Charles as a “bellowing buffoon” in his new book titled Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. The 62-year-old, who will see his new book hit the shelves next week, has made several accusations about his former brother-in-law, with the book revealing details about the late Princess of Wales’ marriage to Charles.
The Earl stated that his late sister “always tried to put her duty to the Queen first”, adding that she had always “been the epitome of duty during her time as princess”. He wrote in an extract from the book, which the Daily Mail has released, that his family had been “stalwart servants and companions” of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
He wrote: “I thought of my two grandmothers – stalwart servants and companions to this bellowing buffoon’s grandmother. Also of all the generations of Spencers who had served King, Queen and Country dutifully, as ambassadors, admirals, courtiers, politicians and viceroys.”
He also alleged that Charles’ alleged comment that Diana would soon be “forgotten” came during an incendiary row over her funeral arrangements.
The Earl reportedly told Charles that his late sister would not have wanted her sons to endure such a public ordeal.
He penned: “Prince Charles continued his stream of anger, without me interrupting. Then he stopped.
“I assumed the pause signalled an effort to bring himself under control, but then he unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death. ‘Rest assured,’ he hissed, ‘we’ll forget her soon enough!'”

A statement 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 judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.”
