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.
Count Charles Spencer insists, despite the fury of Buckingham Palace, and raises to the BBC: "I had to tell the truth. The sovereign really told me those shocking phrases." But in the meantime, speculations and conspiracy hypothesis are unleashed.
