00:00Princess Diana's brother Charles Spencer is making really really serious allegations against King
00:04Charles here basically suggesting that he was at the very least dismissive of the tragedy of Diana's
00:10death if not actually you know unmoved by himself. Now I'm sure Charles had pushed back very hard on
00:17that. I know he flew out to Paris and made sure to bring her home himself but what Charles Spencer
00:24is basically saying is that Charles got very angry with him that Charles wanted to have his own way
00:28that it was the king who was pushing this idea that Harry and William should walk behind the coffin
00:33and that Earl Spencer, Charles Spencer was the one who was pushing back who was the kind of you know
00:38the good man saying think of the children and don't make them do this. Now we know Harry now looking
00:44back on it thinks that they should never have been made to so Charles Spencer is very definitely framing
00:50himself as being almost the hero of this story who was fighting for his sister and fighting for her
00:56children. At the same time you know the king has endured years of negative publicity around the
01:05collapse of his marriage through the crown through the 20th anniversary of Diana's death and the public
01:12do still regard him with a significant amount of warmth you know it hasn't it while it did destroy
01:18his very very strong standing in the polls in the 1990s the public has gradually warmed back to him again
01:26now Charles's book is going to make major headlines Charles Spencer's book is going to make major
01:30headlines but I don't necessarily think it will fundamentally damage the king
