This is suspiciously timed with the return of Harry to Britain.
There are two ways of looking at ‘Swan Song: Diana, My Sister’, an upcoming book by Earl Charles Spencer, brother of Lady Diana.
One way is to view it as a powerful political exposé on the life of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century.
The other is to characterize it as a collection of grievances by someone with an axe to grind.
As Spencer’s book is serialized by The Daily Mail, we have learned so far: that a) King Charles would have said, in a phone call with no witnesses, held after Diana’s death, that ‘we’ll forget all about her (Diana) soon enough’; b) during another personal phone call, King Charles sounded giddy, relieved, maybe even delighted.
So, we have an alleged remark by the King with no witnesses, and a ‘perception’ of a mood, we could call it ‘an impression’.
So, today (19), another batch of ‘revelations’ arose, and this time, we are thrown into the realm of his ‘opinions’ about the upbringing of Diana’s youngest son, Harry.
Worse, it’s a grievance that perfectly aligns with Harry’s narrative of events, as laid out by the Duke of Sussex in the books and interviews that very nearly destroyed his relationship with his father, the King.
Spencer has gone out into the MSM to defend his allegations, insisting that he is telling the truth.
It may well be the case, but with one unprovable remark, one impression over a perceived ‘mood,’ and now a set of opinions, the book is looking weaker by the minute.
In the new allegations, Princess Diana’s brother is claiming that Prince Harry was ‘allowed to spin out of control’ after her death because of a ‘lack of obvious care’.
Page Six reported:
“Charles Spencer recalled being concerned for his young nephew in the aftermath of Diana’s September 1997 funeral in a new excerpt from his forthcoming book, ‘Swan Song: Diana, My Sister’, according to the Daily Mail.
‘My chief memory of that train journey is of being concerned at the lack of obvious care for Harry, as he decompressed from the ghastliness of the morning’, the 9th Earl Spencer wrote of traveling from London to the Spencer family estate, Althorp, where Diana was laid to rest.
‘He needed Diana’s hugs, of course, and they would forever be denied him’, Spencer continued. ‘But instead of calm and nurture, he was allowed to spin out of control’.”
Spencer suggests Harry needed ‘a more caring hand’.
There you go: he thinks the King was a bad father. He complains about William and Harry walking behind her coffin during the funeral.
Slowly, there’s no political exposé anymore. Just complaints.
