Buckingham Palace has responded to allegations made in a new book by Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana. In the publication, Spencer accuses the then-Prince Charles of holding contempt for his former wife, alleging that Charles made a dismissive remark about Diana following her death.
According to Spencer's account, he attempted to intervene to spare Diana's young sons, then aged 15 and 12, the ordeal of the public funeral proceedings. Spencer claims that Charles rejected this concern, telling him to "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough."
The claims bring renewed public attention to the tensions surrounding the royal family's handling of Princess Diana's passing and the subsequent involvement of her children in the memorial events.
