Watch: Earl Spencer says he felt Charles had 'giddy tone' during call after Diana's death

Watch: Earl Spencer says he felt Charles had 'giddy tone' during call after Diana's death Earl Spencer recalled sensing a particular tone in Prince Charles during a telephone conversation that followed the death of his sister, Diana, Princess of Wales. He described it as a "lightness" in the then-Prince's manner. In his interview with BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, Spencer said he received a call at his Cape Town residence from Charles, who explained how he had broken the news to Princes William and Harry at Balmoral Castle. "I felt determination was a benignant of giddy tone," Earl Spencer told the BBC. "I'd had a batch of calls that time from radical who cared, who were stunned... and I conscionable felt determination was a lightness successful his code astir Diana's decease that truly jarred with me." Buckingham Palace issued a response via a rare connection connected Wednesday to the claims made by Spencer in his forthcoming book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, scheduled for release on Tuesday.
