Charles sounded "like a lottery winner" after Princess Diana died, brother says

Earl Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, has made allegations in a new memoir regarding the reaction of then-Prince Charles to Diana's death. According to the book, the now-King Charles III sounded "giddily elated" and "like a lottery winner" in the immediate aftermath of his ex-wife's fatal car crash in Paris.

The revelations, reported by Holly Williams, bring renewed public attention to the dynamics within the royal family following the 1997 tragedy. The memoir contains these striking claims about the current monarch's demeanor upon learning of the accident, offering a new perspective from a close family member on the historic event.
