'Grief Can Cloud Reason': King Charles Respond To Diana Brother's 'Forget Her Soon Enough' Claim

Spencer alleges that Charles made the remark during a heated phone call over whether Diana's sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, should walk behind her coffin at her funeral.

Britain’s King Charles has issued a rare response to claims by his late first wife Princess Diana’s brother that the then-Prince Charles said she would be forgotten “soon enough" days after her death.

The claim appears in a forthcoming memoir by Charles Spencer, according to a report by the Daily Mail, which is due to serialise the book. Spencer alleges that Charles made the remark during a heated phone call over whether Diana’s sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, should walk behind her coffin at her funeral.
