Prince William is reportedly intensely angry over allegations in his uncle Earl Charles Spencer\u2019s latest book, Swan Song.<\/p>\n

A royal source made the claim to RadarOnline, linking his reported anger to deeply personal family history.<\/p>\n

William has not publicly addressed the book or the source\u2019s account. The book includes Earl Spencer\u2019s allegations about King Charles<\/a> following Princess Diana\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The Palace later issued a brief statement<\/a> in the King\u2019s defence. William, meanwhile, has continued royal engagements alongside Princess Catherine.<\/p>\n

Why Prince William is reportedly angry about Swan Song<\/h2>\n

RadarOnline\u2019s source said: \u201cWilliam is beyond furious that all of this has been dragged into public again. For him, this is not ancient royal history or material for another book \u2013 it is his mother, his father and the most traumatic period of his childhood. He has spent years wanting Diana\u2019s memory treated with dignity rather than endlessly turned into fresh controversy. The fact that these allegations are now coming from his own uncle makes the situation particularly painful. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWilliam understands that Charles Spencer has his own memories and his own relationship with Diana. But there is a feeling that publishing claims this incendiary inevitably forces William and Harry back into events they experienced as grieving children, which has led William to become beyond furious over its release,\u201d they then continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing has also caused huge anger. The 30th anniversary of Diana\u2019s death is approaching, and instead of allowing her sons to remember her privately, another battle has erupted over who said what during that terrible week.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Earl Spencer alleges about King Charles<\/h2>\n

In Swan Song, Earl Spencer makes several accusations concerning the Royal Family and Diana\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

He claims the King sounded like a \u201clottery winner\u201d after Diana\u2019s death. He also alleges Charles suggested the public would soon forget her.<\/p>\n

These remain allegations from the book.<\/p>\n

The Palace said the King was \u201cmindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason\u201d. Its statement added that grief can affect judgement and colour memory.<\/p>\n

The reported dispute therefore reaches beyond one alleged remark. It revives competing recollections of a period marked by profound grief.<\/p>\n

The book also contains a deeply personal claim about Diana\u2019s wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Prince William continues with royal duties<\/h2>\n

William has carried on working while the controversy unfolds. This week, he attended engagements in Scotland with Princess Catherine.<\/p>\n

His silence contrasts with the Palace\u2019s decision to issue a brief defence of the King.<\/p>\n

The source said William wants Diana\u2019s memory treated with dignity, not repeatedly drawn into fresh controversy.<\/p>\n

For now, his public focus remains on royal duty.<\/p>\n
