Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer has made headlines around the world in the last week after his book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, was serialised in the Daily Mail.

Spencer accused Diana’s former husband, the now King Charles, of ⁠sounding "giddily elated" in the hours after her death.

The palace claps back by saying the king "is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even ⁠many years after such a loss".

According to the Reuters, Diana's ⁠family accused the royals of showing a lack of support or care towards the late princess before her death.
