Earl Spencer accuses King Charles of “gaslighting” him and describes the king as “astonishingly provocative” amid an ongoing dispute within the royal family. The claims come after Buckingham Palace responds to allegations and assertions connected to Spencer’s family, including comments attributed to Diana’s brothers in an upcoming book.
Multiple outlets report that Spencer frames the latest exchanges as a new escalation and says it is “not every day you wake up to find you’ve been gaslit by the King.” While the broader reporting centers on the personal language used by Spencer, the outlets also note that the situation follows Palace’s public rebuttal of earlier claims. The coverage reflects a direct clash of narratives, with Spencer presenting his account and the palace countering aspects of the dispute.
Overall, the reporting agrees on the core development: Spencer makes a public allegation of gaslighting and provocation by King Charles, and the remarks intensify a public-facing argument related to commentary surrounding Diana’s family and forthcoming publication plans.
