Diana’s brother is making bombshell claims about the King. This is Why

Lots of people have fallen out with their brother-in-law over the years - but it’s perhaps never been as explosive as the row between the King and Earl Spencer.

In the latest royal drama involving the House of Windsor, the Palace has hit back at claims made by Princess Diana’s younger brother in a new book about his sister.

Among them is that the King was “giddily elated” after Diana’s death.

So, what else is in Earl Spencer’s memoir and why is he making these bombshell allegations now?

Niall is joined by Sky’s royal correspondent Laura Bundock.

Since recording this episode, Earl Spencer has told the BBC that he is 'telling the truth' about a phone conversation he had with the King after Diana's death.
