Earl Spencer Claims Charles Sounded 'Giddily Elated' After Diana's Death

Earl Spencer claims in his memoir Swan Song that then-Prince Charles sounded 'giddily elated' after Princess Diana's 1997 death. Spencer, Diana's brother, presents it as his memory of Charles's reaction. Penguin lists Swan Song as out 22 September. Private calls from that period leave little paper trail for outsiders to check competing accounts.
