Princess Diana's brother claims Charles told him, "we'll forget her soon"
The late Prince Diana's brother claims in a new book that King Charles had "contempt" for his ex-wife, telling him she would be forgotten "soon enough."
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. However, the Palace strongly denies the allegations, citing the emotionally charged nature of grief impacting memory and judgment.
King Charles' response echoes that of Queen Elizabeth II's firm stance on racism claims made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2021. 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. Earl Spencer's book, written from the perspective of the Spencer family, is set to reopen wounds from the recent history of the Royal Family, particularly the controversy surrounding Diana's funeral.
