Earl Spencer defends memoir claim that King Charles said Diana would be forgotten after her death
King Charles acknowledges Dianas brothers memoir claim he said she would be forgotten
Continuation
Earl Spencer has doubled down on his claim that King Charles said “we’ll forget her soon enough” after Princess Diana’s death, defending the allegation in a new memoir and a BBC interview released Friday.
In the interview, Spencer described the remark as “monstrous” and insisted he was “telling the truth,” adding that he had immediately shared the comment with close friends and family. The exchange allegedly occurred during a heated argument over Diana’s funeral arrangements, specifically whether Princes William and Harry should walk behind her coffin. Spencer recounted that Charles “went ballistic” before making the remark, which Buckingham Palace has dismissed, stating that “the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason.”
The memoir, *Swan Song: My Sister Diana*, serializes further details, including Spencer’s concern for Prince Harry’s well-being during the funeral procession on Sept. 6, 1997. He noted a “lack of obvious care” for the then-12-year-old prince on the train journey afterward. Buckingham Palace has not responded to Spencer’s latest statements, which also question whether the king is “angry or embarrassed” by the claims.
Spencer’s book is set for release next week, with additional excerpts expected to fuel the dispute over the royal family’s actions following Diana’s death .
