Earl Spencer has said he could write a “hit piece on the royal family” but said it was not a threat as he would not put pen to paper.

Charles Spencer’s controversial book about his sister Diana, Princess of Wales has made headlines around the world for its string of allegations against the monarch, but he insisted it was not a “hit piece on the King”.
