- Earl Spencer has claimed in excerpts from his memoir, 'Swan Song: Diana, My Sister', that a “lack of obvious care” for Prince Harry following Princess Diana's death left him without nurture, which “allowed him spin out of control”.
- The Earl defended his assertion that King Charles sounded “giddily elated – like a lottery winner” during a phone call shortly after Diana's death, insisting to the BBC he is telling the truth despite Buckingham Palace responding that “grief can cloud reason”.
- In further extracts, Earl Spencer questioned King Charles’s prominent presence at Princess Diana's funeral, arguing that an ex-husband from a bitterly collapsed marriage had no place at the ceremony.
- Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch responded to the claims by publicly siding with the King, stating she is “always on the side of His Majesty” and echoing Buckingham Palace's response.
- Meanwhile, Prince Harry made his first public appearance since returning to Britain, addressing military veterans at the Invictus Spirit Awards in London and describing his return as “eventful” but wonderful.
