Piers Morgan has unleashed a scathing reaction to Earl Spencer following the ‘spiteful’ assault on King Charles in his forthcoming publication.
Spencer’s memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, is set to hit shelves next week and is anticipated to be severely critical of the Royal Family, with excerpts already emerging that take aim at Charles and have prompted a palace response.
Yet speaking to CBS, Spencer told Mark Phillips “I’m at a stage of my life where the past is the past.
“I don’t hold resentments. I’m not a vengeful, resentful person”.
“I’m just an eyewitness to history.”

During the interview Spencer revealed that while he maintains no personal connection with Charles, he does acknowledge him as monarch.
He continued: “I’m not being rude about them. I’m not interested in the Royal Family.”
Piers Morgan was swift to counter these remarks, posting a clip of the interview to his X account with the message: “He says, having waited 30 years to launch a vengeful resentful attack on King Charles.”
The post was accompanied by an eye rolling emoji.

Morgan has previously been scathing about Spencer’s book, in much the same way he has regarding Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK, branding it a “parody”.
In another tirade on X, the 61 year old said: “I’ve seen some brass necks in my time but Earl Spencer slamming the ‘malign cancerous’ way the media supposedly treat Harry/Meghan, while simultaneously flogging his book which treats King Charles in a malign cancerous way (as our 77 year old Monarch actually battles cancer) is beyond parody.”
Spencer alleges in the memoir that the King, who was then the Prince of Wales, said “we’ll forget her soon enough” during a row over whether young Princes William and Harry should walk in Diana’s funeral procession.
Buckingham Palace released a strongly worded rebuttal to the allegation that said the King was “mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgement and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss”.
Spencer hit back at the statement, claiming that the King is “gaslighting” him as he maintains the remarks he said were made during the telephone conversation.
The earl said he informed “close friends and family” about the “monstrous” remark.
