Despite royal denials, Diana’s brother doubles down on claims against King Charles in new book

Charles Spencer, the younger brother of Princess Diana, has published new claims in his memoir alleging that King Charles III expressed a desire to "forget her soon enough" following Diana's death. In an interview with the BBC, Spencer described the king's comments as "monstrous" and insisted he was telling the truth. The royal family, according to Buckingham Palace, acknowledged the pain of fraternal grief could cloud one's judgment.

Spencer recounted a heated argument with the king over Diana's funeral arrangements, where he said he felt Charles "went ballistic" and criticized the royals' sense of duty. He also alleged that the king expressed a lack of concern for his nephew Prince Harry's well-being during the funeral. Spencer further claimed that Queen Elizabeth II offered to restore Diana's Her Royal Highness title during a phone call to Spencer's private secretary, Robert Fellowes.
