Buckingham Palace has issued an unusually pointed response to a claim by Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, that King Charles III told him they would soon forget Diana after her death in a Paris car crash in 1997.
The claim appears in Spencer’s forthcoming memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which is due to be published next week. An extract published by the Daily Mail recounts a heated telephone conversation between Spencer and the then-Prince Charles in the days following Diana’s death.
