King Charles Responds to Princess Diana's Brother's Funeral Arrangement Claims
Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, alleges in his forthcoming memoir that then-Prince Charles told him "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough" during a heated phone call about funeral arrangements shortly after Diana's 1997 death. The dispute centered on whether Princes William and Harry should walk behind their mother's coffin. Buckingham Palace responded, stating that grief can affect reason, judgment, and memory, cautioning against relying on recollections shaped by pain decades later. The memoir is set for release on September 22.
