Earl Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana, has made new allegations in his upcoming book, describing a phone call with then-Prince Charles after Diana's death. He reported that Charles sounded 'giddily elated,' likening his tone to that of a 'lottery winner.' Spencer suggested that Charles may have been more focused on the implications for his personal life than on the loss of Diana.

Earl Spencer's revelations may reignite public scrutiny of the royal family's dynamics and Charles's past. As the book release approaches, watch for reactions from royal commentators and potential responses from Buckingham Palace, which could shape public perception.
