Thursday, September 17, 2026 - King Charles has responded through Buckingham Palace to a claim made in Earl Spencer’s forthcoming memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.
The book alleges that Charles told Spencer after Princess Diana’s death in 1997 that “we would forget her soon enough,” a claim the palace has firmly denied.
The palace said grief can affect a person’s memory, judgment, and understanding of events, directly challenging the account before the book’s September 22, 2026 publication date.
The response has intensified public interest in the memoir and renewed attention on unresolved questions surrounding Diana’s legacy and the royal family’s relationship with her relatives.
With the controversy emerging just days before publication, the book is positioned to attract major global attention and strong commercial interest.
Earl Spencer’s claims, followed by the palace’s immediate rebuttal, have created a high-stakes news cycle that could make Swan Song one of the most closely watched royal releases of the year.
