Buckingham Palace issued a formal rebuttal to allegations presented in Earl Spencer's latest book about Princess Diana. The palace described the claims as unfounded and asserted that the late princess is protected by a single, "absolutely emphatic" rule governing posthumous discussion, a phrasing quoted by Yahoo.
DW.com highlighted the ongoing clash between the king and Spencer, while AP News focused on the palace’s direct counterattack, leaving the specific content of the book largely unexplored. Coverage does not clarify which particular statements prompted the emphatic rule or how the dispute may affect future royal communications.
The next step for the palace remains undefined.
