King Charles Denies Bombshell Book Claim That He Said World Would ‘Forget’ Princess Diana

Buckingham Palace is involved in a heated exchange with Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, over claims made in his upcoming memoir about the Princess of Wales. King Charles reportedly told Earl Spencer, shortly after her death in 1997, "we'll forget her soon enough", according to excerpts published in the Daily Mail.

The dispute adds drama to a busy day for the royals, with ceremonies and events involving King Charles, Prince William and Catherine, and Prince Harry.
