King Charles III has addressed claims made by his younger brother Earl Spencer about a private conversation with the late Prince Charles following Princess Diana's death in 1997. The 9th Earl Spencer alleges that Charles told him, "Rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough," after Diana died in a car crash. Spencer writes this conversation took place during a dispute over whether Princes William and Harry should walk behind their mother's coffin at her funeral.
Buckingham Palace did not directly comment on the alleged remark, instead acknowledging that grief can affect a person's memory and judgment. The exchange is based on Spencer's recollection of a private conversation nearly three decades ago, with no contemporary evidence presented to support the claim.
