Earl Spencer claims Charles was elated over Diana's death
Earl Spencer, Princess Diana's younger brother, claims in his forthcoming memoir that King Charles appeared 'giddy' and 'elated, like a lottery winner' when learning of Diana's death in 1997. The book alleges Charles was strangely matter-of-fact about the tragedy and suggests his first instinct was to think how the event might free him to marry Camilla. Buckingham Palace has not responded to these latest allegations, which have overshadowed the King's official engagements.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
