Do you believe Charles Spencer about Charles Windsor's reported remark?

[OneLilacHedgehog]

Do you believe Charles Spencer that Charles Windsor said to him during a phone call "we'll forget her soon enough."

I’m not supporting the men. I am supporting Diana who was ill used and the publication of an accurate commemoration of her.

Charles Spencer said in the interview tonight that as a historian he wanted to make sure there was a public record of what happened. This is his attempt to say to the king, you don't get to lie and control the narrative about Diana.

And what about Spencer’s past actions? , why is he not accountable?
have you not read or heard about his treatment of women? , his cruelty to his wives ? , the fact he is an alcoholic and only got clean ( if he did in fact ) last year? , his completely differing accounts from one year to the next ?
using his dead sisters legacy to make millions of pounds for himself?
yet you believe everything he now says like gospel!
why is that ….

Oh do please point out in the current tawdry and petty extracts where exactly he’s commemorating her!

If you read Phillip and Elizabeth, CS is quoted as saying that Charles did a good job with the boys. This was 2004.

Yes he did! ….so was he telling lies then or is he telling lies now?

Having a degree in history does not make someone ‘a historian’.

Spencer couldn’t even get his facts right about when his own father was equerry to QE2.

Well quite….apparently he made exhaustive notes…..

It’s a form of aristocratic quantum entanglement.

So true!! , it’s apparently difficult to resist for some!! …..although excuse me autumn ….im waiting for you to be labelled a royalist!!! 🤣🤣

You need to watch the longer version of that as they always cut it to favour the then Prince Charles with Diana giggling uncertainly. If you see the longer version, it ends with her looking silently to the side, confused and sad.

Charles Spencer is a historian and has published seven historical books.

Such a shame he didn’t follow the same…method

Yes it is very sad.
Even the interviewer said later they were just expecting a general answer such, oh yes we love each other very much. It wasn't a hard hitting interview. It was a very fluffy one. So the king himself volunteered the information of whatever love is.

OneLilacHedgehog or Meghan?

He has a history degree.

He has had some books published. Lots of people have books published.

Spencer is a self-made ‘historian’ who writes a decent synthesis using his privileged access to materials, but he’s no university academic or groundbreaking scholar.

I believe they are still raking over the coals of Diana and Charles almost 40 year old engagement interview!

CS studied history at Magdalen College, Oxford , was a journalist for NBC and has written many very well reviewed history books.

Not true about the timing either. QE2 wrote letters to Johnnie Spencer while he was serving during WW2. She was nineteen when the war ended. So the period CS was referring to was before Johnnie became an equerry.

That’s not how it read to me, do please link the appropriate passage.

Spencer is an alcoholic,clearly the booze addled his brain.Drunk or sober he is a lying cheat.

I don't see what he really has to gain by lying. Am sure a few book sales won't really add that much to his vast wealth.

Indeed. Also I think the point that Spencer is clumsily trying to make is that his dad could have married QE2 were it not for Mountbatten chasing him off and … what?? He, Charles Spencer, could have been born the heir?

Well, he wasn’t - and what on earth is the point of this section of the book? It’s historically specious and frankly embarrassing. ‘If it weren’t for that pesky Mountbatten I’d have been King …’

It looks like poor journalism with many inconsistencies. It’s certainly not history and he’s no historian. I’m aware however we are currently only being presented with excerpts.

I think he likes the limelight.

So why is he not being questioned about these inconsistencies by his interviewers?

Then surely he'd have done much much more over the last 25 odd years to gain it.
