Charles Spencer accuses King Charles of ‘gaslighting’ over palace response to Diana book claims

Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, has publicly accused King Charles III of gaslighting him regarding his account of events surrounding his sister’s death. The allegations stem from Spencer’s upcoming memoir, Swan Song, which is scheduled for release on Tuesday. Spencer claims the monarch questioned the accuracy of his recollections detailed in the book.

Beyond the specific dispute over his memoir, Spencer drew parallels between the historical media treatment of Princess Diana and the current press scrutiny directed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He suggested that there are notable echoes in how the media has approached both situations.
