Richard Kay, a friend of Princess Diana, says an anecdote in Earl Spencer’s memoir left him “mystified.” Kay describes the moment as a particular exchange portrayed in the book, tied to the period when Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles is described as breaking down.
The outlet reporting Kay’s comments frames the episode as one that raised questions about Spencer’s motives, emphasizing Kay’s uncertainty about why the detail is included. Other coverage in the provided material repeats the same basic account: Kay reacts to a specific exchange in Spencer’s memoir and expresses confusion rather than agreement or endorsement of the narrative.
Across the two sources shown, the focus stays narrow—Kay’s reaction to one passage—without additional verification details or further context about the broader claims in the memoir. Both versions present Kay as perplexed by the inclusion of the anecdote during the marriage’s difficulties, rather than commenting on the memoir’s entirety.
