Earl Spencer’s new memoir on Princess Diana has entered the public arena, surfacing fresh claims that the royal family prefers to keep hidden. The book alleges that King Charles made specific remarks about Diana, which Spencer insists are quoted verbatim, and it has provoked a sharp response from Prince William. The Times reports William’s decision to adopt a "never complain, never explain" policy, while CNN profiles Spencer as the central figure in the saga.
Clarin.com notes that Buckingham Palace has stayed silent on the revelations, and Yahoo records Spencer’s defense of his claims following King Charles’ rebuttal. The Times of India adds that Spencer says he is “telling the truth” about the exact words the king supposedly used. The dispute places the senior royals, especially William and Charles, under renewed scrutiny and keeps the public debate alive.
Coverage suggests that further statements from the palace or additional commentary from Spencer could shape the next phase of the controversy.
