Earl Spencerâs book about his sister Diana, Princess of Wales, has clearly touched a very raw nerve in Buckingham Palace.
The usual position for Palace officials is to grit their teeth and say nothing about allegations in books.
But in this case theyâve blasted back at the suggestion that King Charles spoke so insensitively after the death of Diana.
The message is clear enough, saying thatâs not how we think it really happened.
More excerpts are due to be published by the Daily Mail, interviews will be lined up for Earl Spencer in the days ahead, and then the book itself appears next week.
So perhaps the Palace wanted to get their own version of events out there, before another narrative had taken hold.
The swift rebuttal also shows how much the death of Diana in 1997 remains a difficult subject within the royal world.
The royals, who had initially seemed out of touch with that mood of public grieving, had been at risk of losing popularity.
The claims by Earl Spencer, about the response to his sisterâs death, threatens to re-open what was an awkward and uncertain time for the royals.
