A report says the King responds to claims raised in Earl Spencer’s memoir, with a statement describing the book’s account as a “terribly misguided mistake.” The coverage also says the King should not have replied “so quickly,” according to a palace-focused commentary attributed to Richard Eden.
The articles frame Spencer’s memoir as highly sensitive material that circulates within the Royal Family. They describe the work as being serialised by the Daily Mail, characterising it as an “explosive” account that draws rapid attention from senior figures.
While the outlets focus on the timing and wording of the King’s reaction, they do not provide detailed corroborating information about the specific claims in the memoir within the provided text. Overall, the emphasis is on the reported internal royal response—particularly the alleged critique of the King’s speed—rather than on new factual details of the dispute itself.
