Prince William’s Uncle Claims King Charles Told Him ‘We’ll Forget Her Soon Enough’ Before Diana’s Funeral
New book reveals Prince Charles allegedly told Diana's brother, 'we'll forget her soon enough' before her funeral. Palace denies claims.
POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — A new book by Princess Diana’s brother, the late princess’s sibling, has reignited tensions with the British royal family, as it claims King Charles III once told him, we’ll forget her soon enough shortly before her funeral.
The revelation comes nearly three decades after Diana’s tragic death in a Paris car crash and is detailed in “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” which will be released next week. The book includes excerpts published by the Daily Mail, where the author, who is now the Earl of Spencer, recounts his objection to having Diana’s sons, Princes William and Harry, walk in her funeral procession.

In the account, the then-Prince Charles reportedly dismissed his concerns, questioning the family’s sense of duty and saying, Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough. The two boys, aged 12 and 15 at the time, did participate in the procession, an image that has remained iconic. Buckingham Palace responded to the allegations with a brief statement, acknowledging that grief can cloud judgment but not directly calling the author a liar.
