King Charles’ friends and confidants have just rushed forward after his former brother-in-law, Charles Spencer, spared nothing for a candid takedown of the King.
The clapback’s against the Earl comes straight from friends of King Charles who believe Spencer was just making “unkind claims” and went as far as to describe him as “one man picking at the scars of the past.”
According to the Sunday Times they also went as far as to compare the Earl to that of an arsonist and admitted, “that’s like an arsonist trying to sell you a fire hose and about as convincing as all those others close to Diana who’ve cashed in on her confidences over the years.”
They even exclaimed, “why couldn’t they all have just let her rest in peace? That would have been the decent thing to have done,” at one point in the admission.
An aide also made a similar claim and attacked the Earl by referencing the timing of this. In their eyes what Diana’s brother has done, with his upcoming book Swan Song is that he’s brought out “the crested carving knives’ because he seems unable to “bear” the “fondness” he and Camilla are racking in as monarchs.
But their concluding words were even more direct and included the words, “if I were to hazard a guess, I’d say it’s more that, contrary to some public expectations and perhaps a few private hopes, the King and Queen have proved rather adept and popular in their new roles.”
For those unversed with the bombshells already dropped with the serialized accounts the Daily Mail has been releasing, they began with this admission that was released. One where King Charles is rumoured to have hissed, “rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough”.
The aftermath included statements by Buckingham Palace that were equally as incendiary and then a follow up by the Earl once more.
While the Place tried to call Spencer’s account the ramblings of a man drowning in fraternal grief, because it can “cloud reason.” The Earl noted to the BBC later on, “it is not every day you wake up to find you’ve been gaslit by the King.”
“It was astonishingly provocative and below the belt because it was essentially trying to say I’d lied without the King being able to deny what I’d said.”
“I also thought it was a rather poor imitation of the ‘recollections may vary’ quote, which was a much more elegant way of putting things, but in these circumstances entirely out of place.”
