Years after the tragic passing of Princess Diana, her brother Earl Spencer has leveled striking allegations against King Charles in a new book, dragging a bitter chapter of the British royal family’s history back into the headlines.
In his upcoming publication titled Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, Spencer claims that following the fatal 1997 car crash in Paris, he had a telephone conversation with then-Prince Charles. According to the claims, Charles remarked, “We will soon forget it.” Diana’s brother went a step further, alleging that Charles’s tone during the call felt unusually upbeat, likening his demeanor to someone who had just won a major lottery.
Buckingham Palace has strongly refuted these accusations. Representatives for the palace disputed Spencer’s account, noting that severe trauma and grief can frequently distort how different individuals remember the exact same event or conversation. This newly released material has reignited long-standing debates surrounding the complex dynamic between Charles and Diana, their past disputes, and Charles’s relationship with Queen Camilla.
