Buckingham Palace has issued a strong rebuttal to claims made by Earl Spencer, brother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, in a new book concerning the period following her death in 1997.

According to the BBC, the book contains an account in which Earl Spencer alleges that King Charles, then Prince of Wales, "sounded giddily elated" during a phone call following Diana's death in a Paris car crash.

Buckingham Palace has pushed back against the characterization, though the BBC report did not detail the specific wording of the palace's response.

Earl Spencer, who delivered a widely remembered eulogy at Diana's funeral in 1997, has spoken publicly about his sister's life and death on previous occasions. The new book reportedly revisits the days surrounding her death and the family's response to it.

The BBC's report did not provide further detail on additional claims contained in the book or on the palace's full statement. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
