King Charles acted in haste as he responded to Earl Spencer’s book, says an expert.
His Majesty, who gave a firm response over an excerpt from Spencer’s book about Princess Diana’s death, should not have reacted in anger.
Expert Andrew Morton tells The Telegraph: “With [Earl] Spencer’s book, he, within an hour or so, issued a statement.
“I would have thought that sensible courtiers would have said to him, ‘Hang fast, sir, because it’s only a book – these things will pass’. But I think it’s a sign of how angry he was that this statement was written almost contemporaneously, and in a way, it’s a statement written for an audience of one, and that’s King Charles.”
This comes as Ear Spencer said: “This book is a celebration of an extraordinary woman from a brother’s point of view. And as a brother, I have every right to write about my sister.”
“But I would like to explain that I was not setting out to do a hit piece on the King at all. The comments [from Charles] that I’ve included in the book are totally in context.”
