Earl Spencer’s new memoir has caused controversy over claims that have prompted questions about how his account should be compared with that of the King.
Journalist Laura Kuenssberg examined the issue by putting the central question directly to Earl Spencer: whether readers should believe his version of events or the King’s.
Earl Spencer is the brother of Diana, Princess of Wales. However, the available material does not provide details of the specific claims made in the memoir, nor does it set out the King’s response or any further evidence supporting either account.
The latest focus is therefore on the competing versions of events and the challenge of assessing them. Further details would be needed to establish the substance of the claims and any potential consequences arising from the memoir.
