King Charles acknowledges Dianas brothers memoir claim he said she would be forgotten
King Charles III responded on Wednesday to claims by Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, that the monarch—then Prince Charles—told him shortly after her death that she would soon be forgotten.
Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, alleges in his forthcoming memoir *Swan Song: Diana, My Sister* that the remark came during a heated phone call in the days following Diana’s 1997 death. The dispute centered on Spencer’s opposition to Princes William and Harry, then 15 and 12, walking behind their mother’s coffin in the funeral procession. According to excerpts published by the *Daily Mail*, Charles “lost his temper” and said, “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough,” which Spencer interpreted as an expression of resentment toward Diana and surprise at the global outpouring of grief.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman, breaking the palace’s usual silence on books about the royal family, issued a statement acknowledging the allegations. “His Majesty is aware that the pain of losing a sibling can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memories in ways others may not recognize, even many years later,” the spokesman said .
The memoir, serialized in advance by the *Daily Mail*, is set for international release next week. Spencer has stated its purpose is to correct what he views as inaccuracies about his sister and the events surrounding her death .
