Princess Diana’s Brother Claims King Charles ‘Gaslit’ Him With ‘Condescending’ Book Reaction
Charles Spencer says a palace response challenged his account of Diana’s funeral talks and denied his claim that Charles said she would be forgotten.
- Earl Charles Spencer's forthcoming book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, alleges King Charles sneered Princess Diana would be forgotten "soon enough" during a 1997 phone call in the days following her death.
- Buckingham Palace issued a rare statement suggesting "the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgement and colour memory" years after a loss, without directly addressing the book's claims.
- Spencer blasted the response as "astonishingly provocative" and "gaslighting," comparing it to the 2021 "recollections may vary" quote regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
- The book recounts a 1997 argument between the Earl and the then-Prince of Wales over whether Princes William and Harry, aged 15 and 12, should walk behind their mother's coffin.
- A source close to the King insisted to the Daily Telegraph the alleged remark was "just not in his nature," noting Charles was "paralysed with grief" and defied protocol to honor the princess.
