QUEEN CAMILLA MAKES ‘TOGETHER’ PLEA AS EARL SPENCER DOUBLES DOWN ON DIANA CLAIMS — HER MESSAGE COMES AMID FRESH ROYAL TENSION

Queen Camilla made a powerful appeal for togetherness as the row surrounding Earl Spencer’s explosive new memoir about his sister, Princess Diana, continued to intensify.
Speaking at the Queen’s Reading Room Festival at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire on Saturday, September 19, Camilla urged her audience to embrace the power of moving forward together — just days before Spencer’s highly anticipated book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, is released.
“Recently reminded of a rather beautiful proverb,” Camilla said, quoting the saying: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Her remarks came after Spencer doubled down on a series of allegations concerning King Charles III and the aftermath of Diana’s death in 1997.
EARL SPENCER’S BOMBSHELL CLAIMS

Excerpts from Spencer’s memoir have been released by The Daily Mail, with The Telegraph reporting that the Earl has suggested Charles is embarrassed by the claims.
In an interview, Spencer alleged that the King went “ballistic” during a phone argument after Diana’s death, following opposition to William and Harry walking behind their mother’s funeral cortege.
According to Spencer’s account, the then-Prince of Wales allegedly ended the conversation by saying: “We’ll forget her soon enough.”

The memoir also claims Charles sounded “giddily elated” after being told Diana had died in a car crash in Paris.
Spencer further alleges that Charles told Diana he was “not actually in love with her” just days before their wedding in 1981.
The claims have prompted a rare response from Buckingham Palace.
PALACE ISSUES RARE RESPONSE
The Palace said it does not comment on books “as a matter of principle”, but added that the King is mindful that “fraternal grief can cloud reason” and “affect judgement”.
Its statement said: “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.”
Against that backdrop, Camilla used her appearance at the festival to focus firmly on the role of books and the community created around them.
“I created my Reading Room simply because, like all of us here, I love books and their life-enhancing power and I want to share that love with others,” she said.
Camilla revealed that when the project began, she had no idea whether people would embrace it. Six years later, she said it had become a global community involving millions of people across more than 180 countries.
Members exchange recommendations, conduct research and help donate thousands of books to women’s refuges and homeless shelters.
She also thanked the writers, actors, publishers and readers who had offered “incredible support” to the Reading Room.
Yet with Spencer’s memoir due to arrive on Tuesday, September 22, his allegations remain firmly in the royal spotlight — making Camilla’s call to “go together” an especially striking message amid the latest chapter in the long-running Diana story.
