Earl Spencer, brother of Princess Diana, has claimed in his upcoming memoir that King Charles made a dismissive remark about Diana's death shortly after her passing in 1997. According to the book, Charles reportedly said Diana would be "forgotten soon enough," a statement that has reignited the long-standing controversy surrounding the circumstances of her death.
The claims come amid ongoing tensions between the royal family and Spencer, who has previously criticized the monarchy for its handling of Diana's legacy. Buckingham Palace has responded cautiously, stating that grief can affect memory and judgment, and that such remarks should not be taken at face value.
Spencer's allegations are part of a broader pattern of claims against the monarchy, including accusations that Charles sounded "giddily elated" after Diana's death. These claims have been met with skepticism from those who have worked closely with the king, who argue that such descriptions are inconsistent with his known character.
The memoir, set to be released soon, adds to the ongoing public discourse about the royal family's relationship with Diana and its impact on their public image.
