Princess Diana's Brother Alleges King Charles' Reaction After Her Death in New Memoir

Analysed 23 Sept 2026·25 sources analysed·Paris, France·Entertainment
Princess Diana's Brother Alleges King Charles' Reaction After Her Death in New MemoirPreviousNext

Charles Spencer, brother of the late Princess Diana, published a memoir alleging that King Charles III sounded "giddily elated" after Diana's 1997 death and told him, "we'll forget her soon enough" during a dispute over their sons walking in her funeral procession. Spencer also discusses Diana's troubled marriage and her struggles. Buckingham Palace issued a rare strong denial, suggesting grief may affect Spencer's memory. The book has reignited debate over the royal family's response to Diana's death and her legacy.
