Earl Spencer's book on Diana is stolen

[JustHereForTheShitsAndGiggles]

Warning - DM link ahead...
Copies of Earl Spencer's sensational book about Princess Diana have been stolen from a lorry – just before its exclusive serialisation in the Daily Mail.
The memoir – Swan Song: Diana, My Sister – includes revelations about Diana's deeply unhappy marriage with the then Prince of Wales.
It also describes the crisis that engulfed the Royal Family after her death in a car crash almost 30 years ago.
Last night a publishing insider said: 'Earl Spencer has kept his silence for nearly 30 years and what he has to say about the King's reaction when Diana died is utterly devastating.'
But, in an astonishing development, the Mail can reveal that a truck packed with thousands of copies of the book was broken into after it was parked overnight in a lay-by in the Netherlands earlier this week.
Just four copies, which had been wrapped in black plastic to hide their contents, were stolen in what publishing sources believe could have been an audacious plot to steal the highly anticipated book of the year before it hits the shelves.

Stop calling people royalists. It makes your posts unreadable.

Those are pretty awful to read. Now he claims she had some rejection syndrome and ADHD and THESE were the letters he sent to her ? What a hypocrite.

It’s really sad, isn’t it?

Yes which is why I was sad harry and others lost their case against the press. We never had a second levers on enquiry as we were supposed to.

His case was built on known lies. Harry knew, the. Barristers knew. Hugh Grant knew.

The manufactured testimony. There should be criminal repercussions for that.

What is levers?

I’ve insulted absolutely no one. I’m stating facts and also my opinions about the man, Charles Spencer.

As you’ve said, opinions are allowed. You think things about the King, I think Spencer is a misogynist bastard who goaded his sister right onto her death.

This thread is not about your “windsors” though you would love to derail it.

I have reported this post for attempting to build the narrative that I’m insulting others. I’ve not done that.

We are allowed opinions and my opinion is that some posters will support anyone opposed to the King. Pretty basic argument and if it’s wrong it could be proven.

This thread is ghoulish and I stand by that.

I did not call any person ghoulish.

Not trying to build a narrative at all. I just want us all to engage civilly.
But I will probably get banned as royalists seem pretty protected on mn.

So you are right and the Courts were wrong?

Did the Burrell letters evidence about Wormleighton Manor?

See the first article I posted below.

Court proceedings showed that while the Earl had refused his sister's request to use The Garden House cottage on his Althorp estate in Northamptonshire (around 75 miles north of London), this was primarily because the home was needed by a member of staff.
The Earl then offered Diana the use of other homes on the Althorp estate, including the large, 16th century mansion Wormleighton Manor, but she ultimately decided against staying in any of the properties.

I consider constantly demanding people discuss Andrew to be ranting. That’s a behavior.

Also, accusing me of not caring about pedophiles is absolutely a horrid person insult. Does that register with you?

The case was focused on whether he offered accommodation when the papers said he had not.

Did he offer accommodation?

You call me a royalist to insult and goad.

You don’t think it’s neutral. So you’re the one being uncivil here.

I noted that when given the opportunity you completely ignored the issue of pedophiles and the Windsors and instead tried insulting me ( I’m not bothered what you say about me)

Take your chance now - what is your opinion on Charles and Andrew close friendship with pedophiles and the protection of them ?

Sorry but it’s not ranting to include AMW in this discussion.

You are bringing in other evidence of the way CS supposedly treated his wife and daughters (although he comes across as very protective of them in those letters) as evidence of his overall character.

And similarly some of us are doing the same saying that bc the RF covered up the nefarious activities of AMW for a decade or more, that we no longer respect their honesty and credibility.

I hope we can all exchange robust differing views without resorting to personal comments.

Wormleigh Manor is not on the Althorp estate, it is in Warwickshire, about 40 miles from Althorp. It seems Diana wanted to only be at Althorp and she refused the offers of farmhouses elsewhere.

I think Charles refusal to allow Diana and the boys a place on their estate may have been less to do with the privacy of his own wife and kids, but possibly realizing his numerous extra marital affairs might be rumbled, considering he was initially prepared to offer it to her at a reduced rent but then backed out 2 or 3 weeks later

MNHQ can’t be all over every post on every thread. You need to report so they can deal with appropriately.

You are conflating different cases here. But if you want to focus on accommodation…

… The Times retraction stated;

July 29, 2021
In an opinion piece published on May 22 ('It's too simple to blame everything on Bashir") we wrongly stated that Earl Spencer had refused to assist Diana, Princess of Wales, with the offer of a house after the breakdown of her marriage to Prince Charles. We are happy to report that having considered his sister's safety, and in line with police advice, the Earl offered the Princess of Wales a number of properties including Wormleighton Manor, the Spencer family's original ancestral home. It was wrong to suggest he had refused to help his sister or had failed to protect her from Martin Bashir and concealed evidence of the latter's deception. We did not intend to suggest that the Earl was to blame for his sister's death. We apologise to the Earl and have agreed to pay his costs as well as make a payment to him which he will donate to charity.

I’m not going to be goaded by you. You don’t get to change topics or try to make this about me.

You are siding with Spencer. He treated his sister shabbily, is known for making pathetic, nasty comments about eating disorders and is estranged from his own children. You have no moral authority here.
