Before the release of his upcoming memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, Earl Spencer has begun a cold war with King Charles III.
After making bombshell allegations against His Majesty and his tumultuous marriage to the late Princess of Wales, the British author has revealed his personal opinion about his nephews’ rift.
Meanwhile, promoting his forthcoming publication, set for the launch on September 22nd, has opened up about the infamous beef between the future monarch, Prince William and Prince Harry.
In an in-depth interview with the BBC, the ninth Earl of Spencer revealed whom he supports between the two brothers, who reportedly have been estranged since the Duke of Sussex's memoir, Spare, was released.
"I think there is a perception in the media that I am on Harry’s side. Well, I’m on my deceased sister’s sons’ side, both of them. And if either of them wanted anything, then I’d be equally there for them," the youngest brother of late Princess Diana added.
He went on, "And I never get involved in one camp or the other, except as a benign figure", before explaining his hope for the reconciliation between the two siblings.
Harry and William's rift
For those unfamiliar, Prince William and Prince Harry last briefly spoke with each other when they spotted each other at the funeral of their late grandmother and Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
Apart from commenting on William and Harry’s rift, their maternal uncle, Charles Earl Spencer, initially dragged the two brothers into it when he claimed that King Charles' late father, Prince Phillip, forced Harry and William to walk behind their mother’s funeral in 1997.
He additionally sparked a rare reaction from Buckingham Palace when he alleged that after the death of his beloved sister, His Majesty, then-Prince of Wales, told him he "will soon forget her."

Later, the palace's aides bashed him, saying, "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss."
Reports are also indicating that King Charles is gearing up to take action against his former brother-in-law after the release of his explosive memoir.
