A new book by Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, is published and has reignited public attention on allegations about King Charles III. Multiple outlets report that the book’s excerpts were released last week, and that Buckingham Palace responded with a strongly worded statement.
The coverage describes the reaction as unusually direct for the royal household. Outlets characterize the exchange as a “war of words,” with the book prompting renewed scrutiny of long-running family tensions tied to Diana and Charles. Some reports focus on the palace’s rarity in issuing an emphatic response, while others emphasize that the allegations in Spencer’s reporting are part of decades-old disputes that have continued to shape public narratives about Charles and Diana.
All sources place the developments in the broader context of Diana’s marriage to Charles, which began in 1981 and ended in divorce in 1996. The new publication is presented as re-opening those issues rather than settling them, with official comment and global media coverage following the excerpts and the later release of the full book.
