Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer has landed his nephew Prince Harry in a huge trouble after making bombshell claims in his book.

According to a report by the National Examiner, the Duke is "under a huge amount of pressure" to cut ties with his uncle Spencer.

The royal source claims, “It’s really the only thing that will make King Charles III and the Windsors happy.

“Harry understands their position, but he simply can’t imagine turning his back on his uncle, not after the way [he] and the whole Spencer clan have stood by him.”

Earl Spencer has made shocking claims about King Charles in his book about Princess Diana.

Prince William and Harry’s uncle has alleged that the then Prince Charles said in a phone call the public would soon "forget" about Diana following her death in August 1997.

Another claim stated that the monarch was allegedly "in love with his valet."

Palace has released a rare statement earlier this month about the memoir, saying: “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 judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss."

Amid this war of words between Spencer and the monarch, the Duke has been warned “If [Harry] doesn’t distance himself, the only conclusion is that he’s co-signing this attack on his own father.”
