Spencer doubles down on Diana claims about Charles in BBC interview

Princess Diana’s brother Earl Spencer tells the BBC he is “telling the truth” about a post‑death phone call in which King Charles allegedly said, “we’ll forget her soon enough,” a claim from his forthcoming book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister. Buckingham Palace says recollections may vary, but Spencer insists the remark is accurate and says he told family at the time. The BBC interview, ahead of the book’s release, sharpens the royal-family row as extracts describe Charles as ballistic and elated after Diana’s death and as Diana’s sons walked behind her coffin.
