Earl Spencer says he is “telling the truth” as he responds to backlash over claims made in his memoir about remarks King Charles allegedly made about Princess Diana after her death. Spencer insists the book is written to correct what he describes as “untruths” about his sister.
Across the coverage, Spencer’s defense centers on disputed statements attributed to the then Prince of Wales. The outlets report that he is doubling down on the allegations, presenting them as accurate accounts rather than speculation. The Independent frames his remarks as part of a wider effort to challenge inaccuracies circulating about Diana, while Stuff.co.nz emphasizes the “explosive” nature of the claims and Spencer’s insistence on their veracity.
Both sources situate the dispute within public attention on how Diana is remembered and how claims about her final period and the royal response are portrayed. The reports focus on Spencer’s reaction to criticism and the ongoing contention over whether the alleged comments were made and how they should be understood.
