Royal row intensifies after fresh claims in Diana's brother book
In an extract published on Thursday in the Daily Mail, Spencer claimed Charles sounded like a "lottery winner" during the call. "I suspect the Prince's first reaction must have been to think more of how this event might free him to marry the woman he loved, rather than appreciating the loss of one he did not," he wrote. This comes after Earl Spencer claimed the then-Prince Charles said, referring to Diana, "we'll forget her soon enough" days after she died.
