King Charles’ is getting livid with staffers: Internal row erupts over comment to Earl

The hissed comment that sent social media into a spiral has just received an update by sources close to the King.

The comment itself, “rest assured, we’ll forget [Diana] soon enough!” is considered one for the history books. Especially since today is the day Earl Spencer’s book Swan Song is set to release.

But according to Woman’s Day there’s a lot more than meets the eye and sources spoke at length while highlighting how mortified and shocked the King is to have his name associated with claims such as; “while we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgement and colour memory in ways others do not recognise even many years after such a loss.”

For those unversed, this is what the Palace responded by saying to the Earl’s claim that on the day of Diana’s death “Prince Charles continued his stream of anger without interrupting. Then he stopped. I assumed the pause signalled an effort to bring himself under control. But then he unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death.”

Now, to the outlet they’ve said, “this is the King’s version of the late Queen’s ‘recollections may vary’ line and it’s quite effective. But there’s a fine line between compassion and pity and suggesting the earl’s memory is faulty is incredibly insulting to Charles, who’s spent years researching this book. He’s quite stunned the palace has done this. The book’s not even out yet and already the King’s on the attack.

The source also noted, “but if you thought the earl was upset, that’s nothing compared to the King. He’s livid to be quoted as saying something so heartless and he’s not going to let this get out of hand like it did last time, which ended with Charles getting death threats because of ridiculous conspiracy theories that ‘he had her killed’.

In their concluding words was the following, “the King did expect a few gripes from Di’s brother, but he’s not going to stand around and have his words misconstrued.”
