Earl Spencer claims King Charles III sounded 'giddily elated' on the phone shortly after Princess Diana's death, according to explosive extracts from his forthcoming memoir serialised this week.
In Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, out next Tuesday, Spencer recalls taking calls as news of the Paris car crash spread in 1997. He writes that most callers were 'stunned, barely able to articulate their condolences and offers of help', but that Charles, then Prince of Wales, was different.
