Buckingham Palace hits back at claims in Princess Diana book

Buckingham Palace has strongly refuted claims made by Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, in his new memoir. According to Spencer, King Charles III, then a prince, suggested that Diana would soon be forgotten following her death in a car crash in 1997. The palace's statement came after Spencer alleged that Charles subjected him to a "stream of anger" and expressed contempt over the world's reaction to Diana's passing.

The palace emphasized that while they do not comment on books, King Charles is aware that the pain of fraternal grief can distort reasoning and memory. The book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," is set to be published next week. Diana, a beloved figure in the UK, died in a car crash in Paris at the age of 36, leading to widespread grief and criticism of the monarchy for its perceived insensitivity.
