- King Charles III has issued a rare statement regarding a new book about his ex-wife, the late Princess Diana.
- Spencer's memoir, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," is not set to be published until next week, but the Daily Mail reported that four copies were stolen from a truck in the Netherlands, leading to leaked revelations.
- The Royal Family, whose relations with Spencer have long been strained, are said to fear the book could contain numerous bombshells about Charles and Diana's relationship, which was infamously plagued by adultery and acrimony.
- The claims would deal yet another blow to the King, who is still battling cancer.
King Charles III has publicly refuted claims made in Earl Spencer's upcoming memoir, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," which alleges that he said the world would 'forget' Princess Diana after her tragic death in 1997. The memoir, set for release next week, has already sparked controversy following the theft of several copies during transport in the Netherlands.16
The book reportedly details a heated telephone argument between Spencer and Charles shortly after Diana's death, where Charles allegedly "hissed" at Spencer: "Rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough!" Buckingham Palace responded to the claims, stating: "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."
The Royal Family is reportedly concerned that the memoir could reveal further damaging insights into Charles and Diana's tumultuous relationship, which was marred by infidelity and public scrutiny. The relationship between the Royal Family and Spencer has been strained for years, and the release of this memoir could exacerbate tensions. As the King faces personal challenges, including a battle with cancer, the implications of Spencer's revelations could pose additional challenges for the monarchy.5
“The denial comes after four copies of Spencer's memoir 'Swan Song: Diana, My Sister' were stolen from a truck in the Netherlands, with leaked revelations including a telephone argument with Charles after Diana's death. The Royal Family, whose relations with Spencer are strained, fear the book could contain more bombshells about the couple's troubled relationship.”
