King Charles has stepped out for the first time since being bombarded with explosive Diana claims.
As Charles Spencer is busy with the launch of the highly anticipated and bombshell memoir based on Princess Diana on Tuesday, September 22, Hello! reported that the British broke his cover in Scotland, making a beaming appearance.
For his latest engagement, the 77-year-old King visited Peterhead Port in Aberdeenshire to highlight the transition to renewable energy.
During the visit to the north-east of Scotland, Charles III met with local representatives from the energy supply chain, including members of the Peterhead Energy Transition Forum.
He was also due to meet officials from Maritime Developments Ltd, as part of his engagements shining the spotlight on the region’s energy and maritime industries.
Taking to Instagram, the aforementioned outlet shared, “The King visited Peterhead Port in Aberdeen today, meeting organisations working across the area’s local energy ecosystem and seeing how Scotland is helping drive the UK’s transition towards clean and renewable energy.”
The post also included a three-slide gallery, showing King Charles with a bright smile on his face as he visited the port and unveiled a board commemorating his trip.
King Charles’ escalating row with Earl Spencer over Diana claims
The monarch’s latest appearance marks his first since being bombarded with explosive claims by Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer.
In the first excerpt from his newly released memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, the 9th Earl Spencer alleged that the King was “giddily elated” upon hearing about the death of the former Princess of Wales.
Spencer also claimed that King Charles said, “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough!” shortly before Diana’s funeral.
The claims prompted a scathing response from Charles III’s office, stating, "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."
Swan Song offers a look into the late Princess’s life as a royal, her marriage to then-Prince Charles, her transformation into a global celebrity, struggles with the press, and the final days that led to her death on August 31, 1997.
