'Paul Burrell's rage at Earl Spencer as he issues scathing barb over Diana book' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As this column noted last month, it was only a matter of time before the release of Earl Spencer’s biography reignited hostilities with Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell. Appalled by old foe Spencer’s explosive claim Charles sounded “giddily elated” following the Princess’s death, Burrell now rages: “I think this book is more about Earl Spencer than it is about his sister... he talks about the King being giddy with excitement when Diana died. Well, I was in Paris – I saw the King. He was a brok
'Charles Spencer earns a cutting barb from Kirstie Allsopp - 'gets my goat'' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While the King and Queen endure the unflattering publicity caused by Earl Spencer’s new Diana biography, others prove more outspoken on their behalf. A lifelong friend of Camilla, who is godmother to her brother Henry, short-fused television presenter Kirtsie Allsopp rages: “The hypocrisy of Charles Spencer...now attacking the King, really gets my goat.” Daughter of the late Baron Hindlip, who also became a good pal of Diana's, Kirstie makes unflattering reference to the Althorp-based Earl’s thr
'Harry isn't the only headache facing King Charles – turn for the worse' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While strained relations between the King and the returning Sussexes again made headlines this week after they took exception to His Majesty clarifying they would remain "private citizens", the autumn battle lines are also being drawn between the monarch and Harry’s maternal uncle, Charles Spencer.

Read excerpt
Reportedly weighing up offers from all over the world for a "tell-all interview" when she returns to Britain, will Sarah Ferguson revive her cosy relationship with ITV? Prior to becoming embroiled in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal last year, Fergie was becoming a regular on the channel’s daytime schedules, promoting herself on Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, Loose Women and This Morning – even appearing as an agony aunt on the latter. “Remember, it was all going swimmingly between Sarah and ITV,” o
'Burrell could have fireworks for us yet again as Earl Spencer's book in works' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earl Spencer’s upcoming biography on sister Princess Diana is expected to reignite bitter hostilities with the latter’s butler and self-described “rock” Paul Burrell. The pair’s mutual loathing has been well-documented since Diana’s death almost 30 years ago, with Burrell describing Spencer’s famous funeral oration in her honour as “hypocritical”. He even accused the Earl of removing the Royal Standard from Diana's coffin before it was buried, replacing it with the Spencer flag and "depriving" h
