Charles Spencer denies Donald Trump’s new claims about Princess Diana
Charles Spencer, 58, Princess Diana’s brother, † 36, took to Twitter on Wednesday evening, March 15, 2023 and strongly rejected recent claims by former US President Donald Trump, 76. “I was surprised to hear Donald Trump apparently claim my late sister Diana wanted to ‘kiss his ass’ because the only time she mentioned him to me – when he used her good name to buy some real estate in New York sell it – she clearly thought it was worse than an anal fissure,” Spencer rumbles online.
Donald Trump recently commented in an interview with “Breitbart News” and said that the late princess “wanted to chase him to the devil”. The interview was to promote his forthcoming book, Letters to Trump, which contains correspondence with several high-profile figures including Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey, 69, and the late Queen Elizabeth , †96.

When Prince Edward was named Duke of Edinburgh on Friday, March 10, 2023, on the occasion of his 59th birthday, his wife Sophie, 58, was also able to celebrate a new title: she is now the Duchess of Edinburgh. An anonymous friend of the 58-year-old is believed to be a prestigious title, which above all brings with it a great advantage for Sophie. “Sophie is relieved. She no longer has to curtsey to someone in the family who has not only left royal duties but has also spent the last three years criticizing the institution Sophie works so hard for,” he said Insiders told the British Daily Mail newspaper. What is meant is Duchess Meghan, 41.
Tensions have been said to have existed between Meghan and Sophie for years, the reason for which was Meghan’s clear attitude at the beginning of her relationship with Prince Harry, 38, that she did not want any help other than her husband’s. In his biography ‘Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait’ about Queen Elizabeth, †96, who died in September, Gyles Brandreth, 75, writes: ‘To help Meghan, the Queen suggested that her daughter-in-law Sophie Wessex could be an ideal mentor.’ Sophie can show you where to go,’ said the Queen.” But “Meghan made it clear that she didn’t feel like she needed Sophie’s help. She had Harry.” The Queen is said to have been “a little worried” about it, as Brandreth claims to have learned.
