King Charles Responds to Princess Diana's Brother's Funeral Dispute 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 dispute over whether Princes William and Harry should walk behind Diana's coffin in 1997. Buckingham Palace issued a rare response, stating that grief can affect reason, judgment, and memory, questioning the accuracy of Spencer's recollection nearly 30 years later. The memoir revisits the events following Diana's death in a Paris car crash and the family's funeral arrangements.
