Earl Spencer faces backlash over new book claims about King Charles

Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, is defending claims made in his new book regarding King Charles during a BBC interview. In the interview, Earl Spencer stated that he is telling the truth about the monarch. The book includes a claim that Charles sounded giddily elated following Diana's death. Buckingham Palace has hit back at these claims, and public reaction has included strong criticism from commentators such as Marina Hyde in The Guardian.
