Let’s be real for a second. Every family has that one event that nobody agrees on. For my family, it’s the argument about who forgot to defrost the Christmas turkey in 2008. We still bring it up every year. For the Windsors, it’s the entire 1990s and the tragic story of Diana.
King Charles 'howled like a wounded animal' after Princess Diana's
Spencer’s revelations are like when your sibling finally says what everyone was thinking at the funeral lunch. The air gets thin. The biscuits stop being passed around. And the person who caused the drama (in this case, the historical establishment) has to either own up or double down. King Charles chose to double down.
It’s like when you’re late for a meeting and your boss says, "I understand traffic was bad." And you reply, "Actually, I was just lazy." The honesty is refreshing, but it makes everyone uncomfortable. Spencer’s honesty is that exact kind of uncomfortable.
The "I Told You So" That Echoes
What makes this whole saga so relatable is the sheer humanity of it. Here’s a guy (Charles Spencer) who watched his sister struggle in a system that was too rigid to adapt. Decades later, he’s still processing it. We all have that one regret or that one story we tell to explain why we are the way we are.

For Spencer, it’s the story of Diana and the Palace’s cold treatment. And when you spill that tea after all these years, people side-eye the guy who originally burnt the water. That guy is King Charles.
You can almost picture the King reading the morning papers, sighing, and muttering, "Not again, Earl." He’s probably had this exact conversation with his PR team a hundred times. It’s like an annual subscription to "Awkward Family History." You pay for it every year whether you want to or not.
