The premiere of "Swan Song" is scheduled for next week, but the book is already generating great interest. In fragments published by the Daily Mail, Spencer describes, among others: a dramatic telephone conversation with Karol, in which he was to hear not only words full of anger, but also contempt towards Diana. The duchess's brother was strongly opposed to young William and Harry having to follow their mother's coffin in the funeral procession.
"Prince Charles continued his stream of anger and I did not interrupt him. Then he stopped," Spencer wrote.
"I assumed the pause signaled an attempt to compose himself, but then he vented over the phone what I always thought was his suppressed contempt for Diana and his horror that the world was so shocked by her death. 'Relax, we'll soon forget her!' - hissed," Spencer wrote.
"I can't believe you said that," I said flatly before hanging up, Spencer recalled.
Penguin Random House has confirmed the authenticity of the quoted fragments. The Daily Mail won the rights to publish further extracts, promising an "explosion" of new information.
A tough response from Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace reacted to this publication.
"While it is our policy not to comment on books, His Majesty recognizes that the pain of losing a sibling can cloud reason, influence judgment and color memory in ways that others fail to recognize, even many years after such a loss," a palace spokesman said in a statement.
