New Book by Princess Diana's Brother Prompts War of Words with King Charles III

Charles Spencer says King Charles dismissed Diana after her death, while Buckingham Palace issues a strong denial as extracts from his new book are published.

  • Buckingham Palace has denied claims made by Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, in his upcoming book that King Charles III said Diana would be forgotten after her 1997 death in Paris.
  • Extracts from Spencer's book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister", detail his long-standing friction with the royals over their treatment of his sister, including disputes about the funeral procession for Prince William and Prince Harry.
  • Spencer alleges Charles held "contempt" for his ex-wife and sounded "elated" after Diana's death, while arguing the then-Prince Charles should not have required Prince William and Prince Harry, then aged 15 and 12, to walk behind her coffin.
  • On Wednesday, Buckingham Palace issued a forceful statement noting that His Majesty is mindful "the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory" even many years after loss.
  • Royal historian George Gross questioned why Spencer chose to "rehash" family history publicly, while editor Ingrid Seward suggested the Spencers and royals remain unlikely to reconcile, describing the Palace statement as "very strong.
