Princess Diana’s Brother on Bizarre Call with Prince Charles the Day She Died
Spencer says the remark came after a row over Diana’s funeral arrangements and that his memoir has prompted a public dispute with Buckingham Palace.
- Earl Spencer claimed in a recent BBC interview that then Prince Charles remarked, "We'll forget her soon enough," during a 1997 disagreement over Princess Diana's funeral arrangements.
- The alleged comment followed a heated argument about whether Princes William and Harry, then aged 15 and 12, should walk behind their mother's coffin during the funeral procession.
- In his memoir Swan Song, Spencer wrote that Charles sounded "giddily elated" during the phone call, insisting he is "telling the truth" about the conversation.
- Buckingham Palace responded that "the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory," prompting Spencer to accuse the King of attempting to "gaslight" him.
- As the 30th anniversary of Diana's death approaches, Spencer stated that Princes William and Harry would not be surprised by the allegations revealed in his forthcoming book.
