Earl Spencer has reaffirmed allegations regarding a conversation he claims to have had with the then Prince of Wales following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Spencer asserts that King Charles made disparaging remarks about his late ex-wife, specifically suggesting that the public would soon forget her. These claims, which Spencer maintains are truthful, have been formally refuted by Buckingham Palace.

The dispute centers on the nature of the communication between the two men during the period immediately following the Princess's death. While Spencer has included these accounts in his recent literary work, the royal household has denied the accuracy of the reported exchange, highlighting a continued public disagreement regarding the private interactions between the King and his former sister-in-law.
