King Charles Responds to Claims in Charles Spencer's Diana Memoir
The palace issued a statement after Charles Spencer's memoir alleged a heated phone exchange with King Charles over the funeral arrangements for Princess Diana.
Buckingham Palace issued a response to allegations made in Charles Spencer's recently published memoir, Swan Song, which recounts his sister Princess Diana's life. The book, excerpted in a newspaper, describes a phone conversation in which Spencer says King Charles expressed anger about the decision to have Prince William and Prince Harry walk behind Diana's coffin during her funeral. Spencer claims the king warned that the public would soon forget Diana. The palace said it had not previously commented on such memoirs, implying the statements were taken seriously. > "We are aware of the claims made in Mr. Spencer's book and will consider them," a palace spokesperson said. The remarks come as the royal family continues to manage public interest in Diana's legacy and the private dynamics of the royal household.
