The Earl Spencer discusses events surrounding Princess Diana’s death in a memoir, describing what he says were Prince Charles’s actions in the hours and days afterward. One account shared by outlets reiterates Spencer’s claim that he learned of a family death in the middle of the night while alone with his children in Cape Town.
Coverage also notes that the book is sparking dispute or “war of words,” including criticism and responses involving the King/Prince Charles. However, the provided material does not include direct statements from the royal side or additional confirmed details beyond Spencer’s narrative. The reporting frames the memoir as “raw” and “reveal[ing],” but the factual thrust across the excerpts remains Spencer’s recollection of immediate circumstances following Diana’s death and the resulting public controversy.
Across the two sources shown, both present the same introductory quote and emphasize the memoir’s impact on subsequent discussions involving the royal family. No additional corroborating evidence or specific counterclaims are included in the excerpts.
