Fresh tension is shaking the British royal family, and this time the spark is a book. According to royal experts, King Charles and Prince William are deeply angry over the explosive claims in a memoir by Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana.
- Experts say King Charles and Prince William are furious over Charles Spencer's memoir, Swan Song.
- Piers Morgan has questioned Spencer's claims about the King after spotting an error about himself, and says legal action is still on.
- Royal watchers say the family is still unsure about what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle really want.
- Tom Cruise's praise for Kate Middleton has put her scandal-free image back in the spotlight.
- Harry and Meghan have slammed the paparazzi presence at their children's school in the UK as dangerously reckless.
The book, titled Swan Song, has stirred up old family wounds and handed the press fresh headlines. Commentators close to the royal story say the King and the Prince of Wales are not taking the allegations lightly, and the anger inside the palace walls is said to be real.
Not everyone is buying what Spencer wrote. Broadcaster Piers Morgan has openly challenged the claims about King Charles, pointing to a mistake in the book that concerned Morgan himself. He told Fox News Digital that he is still pursuing legal action against Spencer after the book's release. That mistake, in his view, makes the rest of the memoir harder to trust.
While the Spencer drama burns on, another long-running puzzle remains. Royal experts say the family still cannot work out the motives of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and a sense of frustration is said to linger. Years after the Sussexes stepped away from royal life, the confusion on the other side has not faded.
The couple also made news for a very different reason. Harry and Meghan spoke out after photographers were spotted outside their children's school in the UK, calling the intrusion extraordinarily reckless. For a pair who have spent years fighting for their family's privacy, the incident touched a very sensitive nerve.
On a brighter note for the Windsors, Princess Kate has landed a golden compliment from Hollywood. Tom Cruise, who joined William and Kate at the London premiere of Digger and Royal Film Performance on September 22, 2026, spoke warmly of the Princess of Wales. An expert says the praise highlights how Kate has stayed largely untouched by scandal, a rare feat for any member of the royal circle.
With a controversial book, a legal fight, and unanswered questions about the Sussexes all in play, the royal story is far from over. Expect more twists in the days ahead.
