ContinuationKing Charles acknowledges Dianas brothers memoir claim he said she would be forgotten
Earl Spencer’s memoir *Swan Song: Diana, My Sister* has triggered a rare public response from Buckingham Palace and King Charles, as the book includes explosive claims about the monarch’s remarks following Princess Diana’s death in 1997.
Spencer accused Charles of sounding “giddily elated” in the hours after Diana’s death and alleged the then-Prince of Wales told him the world would “forget her soon enough.” Buckingham Palace countered that “the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss” .
In interviews promoting the book, Spencer defended his account, calling the palace’s response a “rather poor imitation” of Queen Elizabeth II’s “recollections may vary” remark and stating, “It is not every day you wake up to find you’ve been gaslit by the King” . He added that he wrote the memoir as his “duty… as an eyewitness to history” and included a line in Diana’s funeral eulogy—“she will never be extinguished from our minds”—to counter Charles’ alleged comments .
Spencer also used the book’s release to advocate for security protections for Prince Harry, citing his nephew’s military service and position as fifth in line to the throne. He drew parallels between the media scrutiny Diana faced and the treatment of Harry and Meghan, calling it “really, really unpleasant” .
