King Charles Upset with ’Pointless Conversation’ About Princess Diana’s Death

Earl Spencer says Harry looked “tiny” and “bereft” after the funeral, and he recalls a lack of care during the journey home.

  • Earl Spencer published memoir claims alleging King Charles remarked, "We'll forget her soon enough," following Princess Diana's death, prompting an "unprecedented" response from Buckingham Palace.
  • During a heated row over funeral arrangements, the earl claimed the King "went ballistic" and criticized his family's "sense of duty," alleging he ranted they had "no bloody sense of duty."
  • Recounting the funeral procession on 6 September 1997, Earl Spencer expressed concern for Prince Harry, then 15, observing a "lack of obvious care" during the journey from London to Althorp.
  • Buckingham Palace issued an "unprecedented" statement suggesting "the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason," reflecting ongoing tension between the family and Spencer over these private memories.
  • The allegations potentially complicate King Charles's efforts to reconcile with Prince Harry, as observers described the public airing of these grievances as a "pointless conversation" threatening their fragile relationship.
