- Earl Spencer has defended allegations in his new book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, claiming he previously told journalist Barbara Walters in 1997 that King Charles said "we'll forget her soon enough" after Princess Diana's death.
- The alleged remark occurred during a dispute over whether Prince William and Prince Harry should walk behind their mother's funeral cortege.
- Buckingham Palace issued a rare response to the claims, stating that "the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory".
