Image caption, Claims made by Earl Spencer about King Charles III's comments following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales continue to feature on some of Sunday's front pages, ahead of the publication of the earl's book about his sister. "It's not every day you get gaslit by the King," is the headline of the Mail on Sunday after Buckingham Palace released a statement saying that fraternal grief could "colour memory". The "furious" earl has denied claims he is writing the memoir for money and has said Diana would be "cheering from the rafters" at the book.
