What is the central controversy between Piers Morgan and Earl Spencer?
I think this book, Piers, is more about Earl Spencer than it is about his sister Diana. Quite frankly, I didn't recognise some of it. He talks about the king being giddy with excitement when Diana died. Well, Piers, I was in Paris. I saw the king. He was a broken man. The last five years of her life are pretty vague in the book because he knows nothing about them. She said, My family only want me when they want the best seeds. in the best restaurants in town or want to sit in the raw box at Wembledon. They were jealous.
It's official. My legal case against Earl Spencer is going ahead. I've instructed lawyers, and they have written formally to Earl Spencer about the false allegations he makes about me in his book, and to his publishers, Penguin. As I revealed here on Monday, Spencer directly accused me of publishing the notorious gym photographs of Princess Dinah in the mirror back in the 90s. It was an infamous and egregious invasion of her privacy, and one which resulted in an expensive legal settlement. Amid global acrimony. In fact, in the end, the Mirror Group paid over a million pounds to Dinah, which is the highest amount of money that's ever been paid to a member of the royal family by a media organization in history.
But as Earl Spencer has now confessed, this all happened two years before I ever worked for the Mirror Group, and this book still remains on sale with the defamatory lie, notwithstanding his admission that it's completely untrue. True and his public apology to me. The publisher, uh Penguin, is reportedly rushing to print a new edition without the defamatory line, but copies of the defamatory claims are, as we speak, on shelves being sold all around the world. And every copy sold is a repetition of a damning allegation which he and the publishers now know and have admitted to be false. That's why, in my opinion, it must be withdrawn from. Sale and the publishers should postpone any new edition until every so called fact in this book has been interrogated as it should have been before it ever went to print.
Well Spencer was asked about this on the UK's ITV with Lorraine Kelly earlier today.
What about the the the allegations from Piers Morgan? He's going to pursue legal action because there were some inaccuracies in the apologi will you've apologize for it?
And it's going to be changed. Absolutely. I mean, unlike some journalists who we know we know of, I'm very happy to acknowledge I made a a a a small error and I've apologized and it will be put right in the in the second edition. But that's it. What
he said is though if you get that wrong What you know, it's given people an opportunity to have to have another go at you to say, Well, if you got that wrong, what about other inaccuracies in in the book? What would you say to that?
Well I stand by the book.
Well, Spencer's apology didn't come personally to me or to my lawyers. He hadn't even received our legal letter at the time. It was issued by a spokesman to the media with extraordinary haste and actually was buried beneath a repetition of another bogus claim, in which he says Earl Spencer's account of his conversation with Piers Morgan, this is in the book, is accurate. Mr. Morgan was surly and annoyed when Earl Spencer called personally to tell him he was not welcome at his sister's funeral. The book then recalls El Spencer's assumption that Mr. Morgan's response was because he was edited to the mirror when the mirror group had published the highly intrusive photographs of Princess Dina at the gym.
The photographs were published by the Sunday Mirror on 7th of November 1993. Mr. Morgan's pointed out he didn't join the Daily Mirror until October 1995. As an historian, accuracy is important to Earl Spencer. He therefore wishes to clarify that his assumption was incorrect. L. Spencer apologizes to Mr. Morgan for This era. Well, as a former national newspaper editor and a broadcaster of many decades standing, accuracy is important to me too. I remember that phone call very well. And why wouldn't I? Let's face it, it's not every day that Princess Dinah's brother calls you to uninvite you from her funeral.
