Queen Elizabeth Had Chilling First Reaction to Princess Diana's Paris Car Crash, Claims Charles Spencer: 'What Is She Up to Now?'

Queen Elizabeth apparently had a shocking reaction to Princess Diana's fatal car crash that occurred in August 1997.

In Charles Spencer's explosive new biography about the late Princess of Wales exclusively obtained by OK!, he penned how the monarch responded to the tragic accident.

"When the queen had heard the first news of Diana’s being in a traffic accident, she had asked tetchily, 'What is she up to now?' This, before the seriousness of it all became clear," Spencer, 62, wrote in his memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.

He then noted the sovereign, who died in 2022 at the age of 96, "wanted Diana’s coffin to be placed in the royal burial ground at Frogmore, near Windsor Castle, where princes and princesses generally end up."

However, the Spencer family was not too keen on this idea, with Diana ultimately being buried on her home estate, Althorp, in Northamptonshire, England, following her funeral.

"My family was determined that Diana must come home to Althorp. We knew she would have wanted to do so. Besides, having had her HRH title removed as part of the package of humiliation handed to her at her divorce, almost a year to the day before her death, Diana was no longer eligible for royal Frogmore," the 9th Earl Spencer scribed.

Lady Di passed away at the age of 36 following injuries she sustained in a car accident that occurred in Paris. She lost her regal titles in 1996 after she officially divorced the then-Prince Charles after 15 years of marriage.

The former couple married in July 1981 at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and split in 1992 before finalizing their divorce four years later.

The queen, as well as Charles, 77, and his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, were staying at Balmoral Castle in Scotland when they caught wind of the news that Diana had perished.

According to Spencer, the "removal of Diana’s title had hurt her," as the "loss was designed to emphasize to her, and the world, that her royal days were over."

Diana had been "recognized around the world as such a singular asset to the royal family," Spencer said, also adding his sister's popularity ignited fury in the "institution’s more jealous members."

"Should, they believed, just accept that she had been returned to the ranks as a commoner. At least this pettiness helped to save her from some meaningless burial plot in Frogmore," he said.
