Diana, Princess of Wales's, brother Charles looks a right Charlie now with an attack on Piers Morgan in his new Royal expose book that's turned out to be major Fake News. Charlie Spencer has slagged…
Kevin MaguireHost
You've got a couple of Charlies and you've now got Piers Morgan on a moral molehill lecturing us all on press standards.

You must admit that Charles Spencer... uncle of the heir to the throne, William, attacking Charles, the other Charles, King Charles III, for you, has actually thrown a grenade into a family that is shameless without servants.

If they were from council estates, not royal estates, they'd be well known to the local authorities, wouldn't they? Come on, this is absolutely dreadful.

Why should you look up to this family that is just fighting like rabid ferrets in a sack?
Well, you see, I think the first few days, I think actually the serialisation of the book in the mail was hugely damaging for King Charles.
And we shouldn't forget, by the way, Kevin, that Charles Spencer was barely on speaking terms to his sister when she died.
He declined her the particular cottage she wanted to live on on his estate when the marriage ended to the then Prince of Wales.
It obviously runs, and Prince Harry, by the way, looks like a Spencer and behaves like a Spencer because he's done exactly the same thing with his book.
But I think the book has been definitely undermined by the extraordinary blunder Spencer made over Piers Morgan.
The assumption that Morgan was editor of the Sunday Mirror when it published those appalling photographs of the Princess of Wales in her gym.
