POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — Buckingham Palace has denied allegations made in a new memoir by Prince William’s uncle, Earl Charles Spencer, which claims that King Charles expressed a dismissive attitude toward Princess Diana shortly after her passing.

The book, titled *Swan Song: Diana, My Sister*, is set to reveal previously undisclosed details about the late princess’s marriage and the circumstances surrounding her death. It includes a passage where the Earl reportedly claims that then-Prince Charles said, we’ll forget Diana soon enough following her tragic accident in 1997.
