Piers Morgan to Sue Earl Spencer Over Defamatory Claims in 'Swan Song'

Piers Morgan (ad) is planning to sue Earl Spencer over his book 'Swan Song: Diana, My Sister', which contains defamatory claims about the king and Piers himself. The book has been criticized for inaccuracies and casting the king in a negative light. Specifically, the book claims that Morgan was surly and annoyed when Spencer called to tell him he was not welcome at Diana’s funeral, which Morgan denies. Morgan has confirmed that his lawyers have formally written to Spencer and his publisher, Penguin, demanding the book be pulled and for the defamatory claims to be removed.

Spencer (ad) has apologized for the inaccuracy, but Morgan remains determined to sue, questioning the credibility of the whole book. Morgan claims that the book's claims about him, including that he was surly during a call about Princess Diana's funeral, are false and defamatory. Despite Spencer's apology, Morgan is pursuing legal action and demands the removal of the lies and damages paid to the King's Trust.

The dispute (ad) centers on Spencer blaming Morgan for publishing hidden-camera gym photos of Princess Diana in the 1990s, which Morgan denies. Despite Spencer's apology, Morgan is pursuing legal action against him and his publisher Penguin to remove the lies and pay damages to the King's Trust. The book also criticized King Charles III, leading to further tension.
