King Charles breaks silence after Princess Diana book claims he said ‘we’ll forget her soon enough'

Responding to the allegations about his conduct following Diana's death, King Charles III said grief could cloud people's reason and colour their memories.

Britain's King Charles on Wednesday broke his silence on claims made by Princess Diana's brother Charles Spencer in his upcoming book. In a rare move, King Charles III responded to criticism over ex-wife's untimely death in 1997 which left the world in shock.

Princess Diana's brother claimed in the book that after her death, the then-Prince Charles told him “rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough”.

Responding to the allegations about his conduct following Diana's death, the now-monarch said grief could cloud people's reason and colour their memories.

"While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss," a statement issued by the palace spokesperson read.
