According to a report, Princess Diana‘s brother Charles Spencer has refuted recent claims made about her. The comments came from politician Michael Gove during a discussion of his book, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.” The bombshell memoir has been making headlines since its release for its explosive claims against the royal family, especially King Charles.

Charles Spencer threatens Michael Gove over his comments on his and Diana’s relationship

Charles Spencer is reportedly considering legal action against former Cabinet minister Michael Gove over a remark on his relationship with his late sister, Princess Diana.

As reported by Richard Eden of the Daily Mail, Gove discussed the Earl’s new memoir on The Spectator’s podcast in conversation with assistant editor Madeline Grant, the wife of a Church of England vicar.

The pair apparently leveled several allegations against Spencer. They suggested he was on “bad terms” with his sister at the time of her fatal car crash in 1997 and that he was “monetising her death” by releasing the book. The discussion also revisited the 1993 Althorp episode, when Charles Spencer is said to have declined the late royal’s request to stay at the Garden House cottage.

Responding to the allegations, a spokesperson informed the outlet, “The Spectator’s podcast claimed that in the summer of 1997 Diana asked her brother if she and her sons could stay with him to escape the Press, and that he said ‘No’ because the paparazzi would bother his family at Althorp. That is untrue. She never asked to stay that summer.”

The representative further clarified, “Earl Spencer never turned his sister away. After her marriage broke down, and in line with police advice about her safety, he offered her a choice of a dozen homes on the Althorp estate, as well as Wormleighton Manor, the family’s ancestral home.”

Concluding, they stated that Spencer has urged The Spectator to set the record straight and remove the podcast from its platform. They added that people are free to have their own opinions about his book. However, inventing stories about how he treated his sister is not acceptable.
