Grief, grudge, or greed? Inside Earl Spencer’s attack on the King
On today’s episode of The Daily T Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by India McTaggart, our Royal Correspondent, to discuss Earl Spencer’s sensational claim that when discussing Princess Diana’s funeral, the King remarked that Princes William and Harry would “forget her soon enough”.
Jacob questions why someone who criticised the media for making his sister the “most hunted person of the modern age” would agree to serialise his book in a newspaper.
