New revelations from Earl Spencer’s new book about his late sister, Diana, Princess of Wales, describe his claims about the night that she was killed in Paris and that her husband, then Prince Charles, “sounded giddily elated… like a lottery winner.”
In an extract from his book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister serialised in the Daily Mail, Spencer writes: “I was at my home in Cape Town, alone with my four children, when I learnt that my sister had been killed. The phone next to my bed rang in the middle of the night. On the night Diana died, Charles sounded giddily elated... like a lottery winner.”
He claims Charles later told him: “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough!”
On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace issued an unusually strong statement regarding Spencer’s claims.
A Palace spokesperson said: “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.”
Other revelations include:
Spencer says he fought to stop William and Harry walking behind Diana’s coffin
Public opinion was divided on the decision to have the young princes, then aged just 15 and 12, follow their mother’s coffin in procession, accompanied by Earl Spencer and their father.
Diana had left her brother as her sons’ guardian, which has limited power while there is a surviving parent but which Spencer said gave him the impetus to speak up for his sister’s wishes.
Spencer, who claims courtiers wanted William and Harry in the procession partly to protect Charles from public abuse, called the decision “utterly barbaric, and quite out of the question.”
He claims some people inside the Palace were “relieved – indeed, pleased” Diana had died.
