Charles Spencer's striking claims about the royal fallout following Princess Diana's death

Key Points:

• Charles Spencer, Diana, Princess of Wales' brother, has released a new book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," revisiting the controversies and personal memories surrounding Diana nearly 30 years after her death.
• Spencer recounts a disturbing conversation with King Charles shortly after Diana's death, where Charles allegedly said, "We'll forget her soon enough," a claim that has drawn a response from the palace attributing Spencer's memories to grief.
• The book portrays Diana as a transformative yet divisive figure who challenged royal traditions, facing jealousy and suppression from the British establishment and the royal family.
• Spencer criticizes the royal family's handling of Diana's funeral, particularly the decision to have her sons walk behind her coffin, suggesting it was meant to shield King Charles from public backlash.
• Reflecting on Diana's legacy, Spencer believes she would have been an exceptional queen and suggests that a more compassionate approach to her sons' grief might have altered the course of their lives, especially Prince Harry's current struggles.
