Diana, Princess of Wales’ brother, Earl Spencer, and Buckingham Palace are at odds over a contentious novel about her life and demise. Excerpts from the Daily Mail claim that King Charles III insensitively told Earl Spencer that “we’ll forget her soon enough” following Princess Diana’s death in 1997. However, the Palace has responded rather forcefully, incensed by the allegations and trying to disprove them.His Majesty is aware that the anguish of fraternal bereavement can cloud reason, influence judgement, and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even years after such a loss, even if we do not comment on books as a matter of principle,” it stated.
The statement that “recollections may vary” is reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth’s rather robust answer in 2021 to accusations of racism made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Prince Harry’s first major appearance since returning to the UK, together with the King, Prince William, and Catherine attending engagements, could be overshadowed by the controversy. Written from the viewpoint of her own Spencer family, Earl Spencer’s book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, which will be released next week, appears destined to reopen a very trying period in the recent history of the Royal Family.
