King Charles Issues Rare Statement Addressing Princess Diana Claim | E! News

After ‘Swan Song: Diana, My Sister’ by Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer alleged King Charles III spoke negatively of the princess after her 1997 death, he issued a rare statement. In the new memoir, Spencer claimed Charles said during a heated phone call in the days after Diana's passing, “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough." Spencer said their disagreement stemmed from plans for Diana’s sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, to walk behind her coffin during the funeral procession. In response to the allegation, a palace spokesperson told E! News, "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason." Diana died in a Paris car crash on Aug. 31, 1997. She was 36.
