Earl Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana, has published a book that revisits long-standing tensions within the royal family, according to the BBC. The BBC reports that the book has revived wounds the royals would prefer to leave in the past.
Among the claims drawing attention is an account that King Charles reacted furiously in a phone call after Diana's death, according to Dawn Images. CNN has compiled a list of what it describes as five notable claims from the book.
Coverage of the book has spread quickly across outlets. The Guardian published a column by Marina Hyde commenting on the dispute between Earl Spencer and the King. Page Six, citing unnamed sources, reported that Prince Harry was aware of the book's contents before publication.
The reporting indicates the book has renewed public focus on the aftermath of Diana's death and on the relationship between her brother and the royal household. The BBC's framing suggests the material touches on matters the family has long sought to move past.
What to watch next: whether Buckingham Palace or other members of the royal family respond publicly to the claims, and how the book's reception develops in the coming days.
