Charles Spencer has dropped jaws with a shocking claim in his upcoming memoir.
The 62-year-old brother of Princess Diana, who has penned an explosive memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister based on the former Princess of Wales’ life, made a shocking claim in the book, sharing Mohamed Al-Fayed’s sexually explicit statement to his late sister.
For those unfamiliar, Mohamed Al-Fayed was a high-profile Egyptian businessman and the father of Dodi Fayed, who died alongside Princess Diana in the 1997 car crash in Paris.
In the first excerpt from the upcoming bombshell memoir, the 9th Earl Spencer claimed that Fayed “squeezed” Diana’s buttocks in a disturbing exchange while she was dating Dodi, reported the Daily Mail.
He recalled that the late Princess told him that the Harrods tycoon inappropriately touched her and said, “And in Egypt, father-in-law gets first go…”
"She [Diana] told me with revulsion how, early in her romance with Dodi, Mohamed had come up to her, dropped a hand onto her buttocks and squeezed them while saying in a leery, suggestive tone, 'And in Egypt, father-in-law gets first go,’” Spencer wrote.
