Charles Spencer Reveals Harry’s Diana Memoir Question; Wild Charles-Camilla Divorce Rumor Debunked
Palace Intrigue: Harry, Meghan & the Crown. Royal Family News and Gossip.Show Notes
Charles Spencer says he has spoken with both Prince William and Prince Harry since publishing his controversial Princess Diana memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. Spencer revealed Harry had one particular concern, asking whether the book contained anything that would embarrass him. Spencer says he deliberately kept both brothers out of the project and did not ask either of them to approve the book. He has not revealed what William said about it. Meanwhile, the internet has produced another spectacular royal rumor: claims that King Charles and Queen Camilla are divorcing because of a mysterious “secret dossier.” Snopes investigated the story and found no evidence supporting the allegations, no credible reporting of a divorce and no announcement from Buckingham Palace.
There is also a more serious story involving King Charles and his longtime friend, explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The Telegraph reports that Charles tried to reach out after friends raised concerns about Fiennes’s wellbeing, but his attempt to make contact through Fiennes’s wife was unsuccessful.
Plus, Princess Anne meets endurance fundraiser Sir Kevin Sinfield, not Jerry Seinfeld, although we briefly got very excited. Princess Beatrice’s dinner with Spotify executive Dustee Jenkins sparks speculation about crisis-management advice for the York family, William and Catherine hold separate behind-the-scenes meetings at Windsor Castle, and an English-style pub named the King’s Arms is coming to Transylvania in honor of King Charles.
Questions this episode answers: What did Prince Harry ask Charles Spencer about his Princess Diana memoir? Has Prince William spoken to Charles Spencer about Swan Song? Did Harry or William approve Charles Spencer’s book? Are King Charles and Queen Camilla getting divorced? What is the truth behind the royal “secret dossier” rumor? Why did King Charles try to contact Sir Ranulph Fiennes? Did Princess Anne meet Jerry Seinfeld? And why is a pub in Transylvania being named after King Charles?
