Palace Rejects Book Claim Charles Was ‘Giddily Elated’ After Diana’s Death

UPDATE - follow-up to Charles sounded 'giddily elated' after Diana's death, Charles Spencer claims in explosive book extract - Stuff: Buckingham Palace has formally denied the allegation that King Charles felt "giddily elated" after Princess Diana died. The claim comes from an extract of a book written by Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, which says the future king sounded unusually cheerful after the tragedy. The palace issued a statement calling the report inaccurate and insisting that Charles was deeply saddened by Diana’s death. In a rare move, King Charles himself responded, rejecting the suggestion and reaffirming his grief at the time. The royal household says the book’s portrayal misrepresents his feelings and does not reflect the truth.
