Charles Spencer book alleges King Charles III felt happy after sister died
Charles Spencer published a new book on Tuesday containing allegations about King Charles III that drew a strong response from Buckingham Palace.
Book claims reopen old wounds
The author states he wrote the work as an eyewitness to history regarding his sister's life. Pre-released excerpts suggest the late king was giddily elated following the death of Princess Diana in 1997. These assertions have reopened painful episodes within the royal family.
Palace rejects book statements
Buckingham Palace issued a strongly-worded statement rejecting the version of events presented by Spencer. The palace noted that grief can cloud reason and affect judgment when recalling memories. This official response added to the publicity surrounding the new publication.
Author has writing history
Charles Spencer previously released bestsellers focusing on seventeenth-century British kings before this latest release. His earlier works included titles such as Killers of the King and To Catch a King. This new title focuses specifically on his sister and her marriage to Prince Charles.
