Royal commentator links Prince Harry's silence to support for Diana memoir
Commentator Mark Dolan said Prince Harry's silence on Charles Spencer's forthcoming Diana memoir amounts to an implicit endorsement, and reports indicated that Prince William was angry about the book's claims. Spencer's memoir alleges that King Charles told him the royal family would soon forget Princess Diana and even suggested he was pleased at the time of her death, claims the palace described as possibly distorted by grief.
The book also repeats a long-discredited rumor of a sexual relationship between Charles and former valet Michael Fawcett, which officials have previously dismissed. Royal experts and historians have questioned the accuracy of Spencer's allegations, prompting brief responses from Buckingham Palace.
