King Charles III has taken centre stage in Scotland after his sharp response to Earl Spencer about Princess Diana.
His Majesty made a brief appearance during the artificial intelligence summit that took place at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, near Glasgow, on Thursday, September 17th.
The 78-year-old British monarch delivered a historic speech highlighting the importance and deep concern behind the development of AI.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I suppose we might readily agree that the development of AI – its substance and its pace - are both intriguing and deeply concerning in equal measure," Charles addressed the AI leaders, who have gathered in Scotland for the key summit.
The father of two also reflected on the opportunities and risks of this revolutionary new technology.
In a video shared by the official Instagram account of the British Royal Family, it showed King Charles's concerns over AI as he personally met with experts to assure "the fundamental principles that should and must guide the development of Artificial Intelligence in the years ahead."
This speech was also marked as His Majesty's first iconic speech after he sharply responded to his former brother-in-law, Charles Earl Spencer, over his allegations about his ex-wife, Princess Diana.
King Charles' sharp response to Charles Earl Spencer's allegations over Princess Diana
The younger sibling of the late Princess Diana, whose 29th death anniversary is celebrated on August 31st by his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, has made explosive allegations about King Charles III, in his upcoming memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, scheduled for September 22nd, 2026.
Notably, the claims revealed that the royal family members discussed funeral arrangements after Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris.
According to Earl Spencer, he objected to plans for Princes William and Harry — who were 15 and 12 years old at the time — to walk behind their mother’s coffin during the funeral procession.
However, the 62-year-old 9th Earl Spencer believed that his late sister would not have wanted her sons to take part in the procession in that way.
A sharp response
After these claims made waves, Buckingham Palace's aides have not directly denied the allegations, but questioned the reliability of Spencer's recollection in a statement responding to the claims.
"While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty the King is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment, and colour memories in ways others do not recognise even many years after such a loss," King Charles' representatives added.
So far, neither Prince William nor Prince Harry have responded to their alleged participation in their deceased mom's funeral back in 1997.
