AIBU to believe Charles Spencer after watching this BBC clip?

CS has a book to sell and it will no doubt be the basis for Harry's next Netflix documentary.

Yes

What Spencer has done is very very wrong

It hurts KC3 and by extension the crown and William and George.

It also hurts Harry. Imo. But I'm not sure Harry will understand that

What CS has done is totally contrary to what he said in his eulogy and what he said in interviews 20 ish years ago

I think deliberately hurting your own BLOOD relatives who you swore to help, makes you an absolute cunt

And I'm no royalist. I don't condone KC3 or any of them......but Spencer takes the fucking biscuit

Vile scrote

I don’t believe it. KC looked ashen and shell shocked at the time, he had two boys to think of. In times of crisis memory and laying down memories is really affected. Even if CS honestly believes this happened, it is disgusting to raise it now.

Totally agree! Why now after all these years. He and Harry are out to milk the situation for their own ends.

This Charles Spencer?
"I will never profit from Diana's death...
It's so low it's inconceivable."

Diana made the choice to speak very publicly about her life and marriage and the RF which may well have affected her children at the time, when they were still very young. I can't judge whether she was right or wrong to do that and it hardly matters any more now.

But I am not sure it is reasonable to blame Charles Spencer for also speaking out now (when her children are adults with children of their own) or to expect him to be any more scrupulous in protecting them, than their own mother was.

Absolutely, he owes it to his nephews to keep his gob shut. What is the point of this?

I dont actually believe him but its muck raking.

Who cares?
Really? This happened nearly 30 years ago. Divorce/acrimonious split.
Why dredge it all up now? Money/publicity/ whatever.
Charles is King. He will do that till the end of his days and then his son will take over. As it has been for more than 1000 years.

I can’t help but feel like it’s also a bit of PR for Harry to win a bit of support back for him. Im
not sure why now & I suppose why at all. I believe it but not sure what the point is now. Everyone knew what C was like to her. It’s strange IMO. Which is why I think Harry is somehow involved.

Dont know but I cant bear Earl Spencer. Is he giving a second thought to how this affects his nephews? Also serialising the book in the Daily Mail...one of the rags that hounded Diana, her sons, and countless other families...really??

Get a job you overprivleged twonk.

he might have said it he might not but 30 years later to come out with it to sell books? Because that’s what he’s going right? He’s trying to sell books make a bit of money the cobblers must be low, maybe it’s easier that selling a Bentley, whatever and, worse so he’s also dredging up and hurting his nephews. I don’t care if they are all royal or not it’s shitty.

Charles W was probably feeling sorry for his boys when Diana died, relieved for himself but the outpouring of grief from the nation was the biggest problem. He wanted Camilla to be accepted and he knew it would take years! Camilla went into hiding then.

Yes it’s not like he’s said I am still so upset about this. He’s done it for the cash ,as he’s learned from Harry. Put something shitty in there and idiots will part with their cash

Camilla didn’t go into hiding when Diana died, what re you on about.

News about Andrew / Epstein links started coming our about 25 yrs ago, didn't it? Cover-up didnt work v well. I v much doubt 2026 palace PR works against Diana! Have they learned nothing?

Diana might well have been happy & excited about the idea of becoming queen....but she was 19 at the time of her engagement, how much could she realistically have understood about what it would mean for her? Speaking personally I had very few clues about life at that age, had I made any irrevocable decisions then they would have likely proved to be disastrous.

It was up to the older & wiser people around her to guide her and it looks as though they failed to do that. Including Charles: he was a man in his 30s and we are supposed to believe that he was bullied/forced into this marriage? The only victim in this was Diana not Charles.

He may well have felt relieved, even happy, at some level, and couldn't help the way he felt. But he should have known better than to betray his feelings; we were talking about the future/current Head of State here, who we keep hearing is above reproach.

YABVU
He’s a money grabbing b*stard and always has been.
He has already made millions on the back of his sister’s death.

The ‘loving’ uncle is/must be causing a complete headfuck to poor William and Harry.

The only thing the selfish man has got to gain is money.

Abolish them all. Parasites!

I do not think that the monarchy hasn't lasted 1000 years is a reason for this circus to carry on.

I am a near contemporary of Diana, so I am very conscious of the years of life she has lost largely due to being part of the RF and the monarchy....the fact she hasn't seen her sons grow up & marry, has never known her grandchildren. At the time of her wedding I was quite an ardent monarchist and celebrated alongside many millions of people, that very lavish and taxpayer-expensive wedding of the century which we were invited to believe was a love match.

It has since emerged that the wedding & marriage was a hollow farce all along, and other revelations over the years have shown the extent to which the RF lie and manipulate their images....hide the extent and sources of their wealth from the public, cover up misconduct and even crimes committed by their members.

And that is before we even get on to the anti-democratic nature of the institution itself. Do Charles, his son & his son's son even want to take over? We don't know and it seems they don't get a say.....the treatment of Diana, Harry, Meghan etc shows what will happen to them if they dare to fall out of line.

The Monarchy lost my support years ago & I am staying lost. And I am not alone.

Nope don’t believe it in the slightest. Charles went straight to Paris to bring her home. He looked devastated at the funeral. they had actually been getting very well prior to her death and reached a truce. They seemed to both be moving on. I don’t believe for one second he responded like that. The fact is books need to be sold and there needs to be a salacious hook and here we are…

Yeah yeah because as a senior royal he’s never been trained to put on a game face 🙄

Well reports at the time said how upset he was from multiple different sources. Easy to rewrite history but the evidence was in the reports at the time. I am sure you think it’s a conspiracy and there is no way of persuading you otherwise but there was no way his face at the funeral was an act.

To be honest I couldn’t give a rat’s ass either way (and yes I know I’m commenting on this thread - I’m a historian and trying to look at it dispassionately) because I think the lots of them - the spencers as well as the windsors - are a bunch on entitled idiots with little or no idea about how normal people think or feel. That’s one of the main reasons why I think Charles probably did say those “monstrous” things. He has not had a normal life since the day he was born.

One's making money out of his sister's death, the other one is a parasite.

They are all as bad as each other. Diana was brought up to just marry into the Royal family by her mother after leaving (a private girls) school with no formal academic qualifications after failing her O-level exams twice. Her options were limited, led a sheltered life and this all caught up with her when the fairy tale she was brought up to believe in went t*ts up. She was not exactly the sharpest tool in the box or a good judge of character and did make some pretty bad decisions. like hanging out with the Al-fayeds in the first place (essentially Egyptian criminals).

The whole situation would have more integrity if Charles Spencer was not trying to peddle a book - just reeks of trying to dig up old dirt to make some money.
