Earl Spencer has doubled down on his claim about a private conversation with the then-Prince Charles following Princess Diana's death, insisting in a new BBC interview that he is “telling the truth”.
In his forthcoming memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, Spencer alleges that Charles told him, “We’ll forget her soon enough” during an argument over Diana's funeral arrangements.
Buckingham Palace responded to the claim by saying that grief can affect a person's reason, judgment and memory.
Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg at his Althorp estate, Diana's younger brother said he remembered the conversation clearly and insisted the words attributed to Charles were exactly what he heard.
“I was hyper alert to what he was saying,” Spencer said, adding that he had only spoken to Prince Charles directly on the phone twice in his life.
