Piers Morgan extended his support to King Charles as he made an open demand of Charles Spencer and claimed there are “fabricated” facts in the memoir written for late Princess Diana.
Earl Spencer had written Swan Song, Diana, My Sister, in honour of the beloved member of the royal family, which also contains some damaging claims about the then-Prince Charles.
Presenter and journalist, Piers Morgan, is now hitting back at the Earl’s new book and has threatened a legal action for writing “fabricated inaccuracies which will strike to the heart of his credibility”.
While reading an excerpt on his show Piers Morgan Uncensored, he fumed that it was “all pretty extraordinary stuff” to claim.
“And very damning, particularly about me. I come across in the most despicable manner imaginable. There's just one problem. It's all bulls--t and very, very easy bulls--t for me to prove it.”
The excerpt is as follows:
“They realised they were unable to be rude to the brother of the much-mourned princess. The only one who sounded surly, as opposed to merely confused or embarrassed, was Piers Morgan of the Mirror, who snarled with annoyance before he hung up,” he said about withdrawing invites of tabloid editors to Diana’s funeral.
“Morgan was one of four tabloid editors named, shamed and photographed in an article looking at who might be held responsible for the paparazzi’s role...”
Piers rebuked the claim stating that the photos in question were published two years before he joined the outlet.
“In fact, at the time of the gym pictures, I was doing a showbiz column on the Mirror’s arch-rival, The Sun,” he said. “About as far removed from responsibility for the Mirror scoop as I could possibly have been.”
He also challenged that he was “talking to [Diana] more often than [her brother] was”.
“My question, though, is this: if Earl Spencer can be so incredibly, defamatorily wrong about such basic facts involving me, well, why should we believe anything else he puts in this book?”
He then addressed Charles Spencer and warned: “Earl Spencer, you’ll be hearing, and your publishers, from my lawyers. Because I would like the complete lie that you’ve published about me, and those photographs, to be removed from your book.
“And I would like a donation to be made to the King's Trust for the damage that you've caused with your lie, after all.”
