Key Points:

- Spencer's book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," alleges that Charles vowed Diana would be forgotten soon after her 1997 death, a claim Buckingham Palace disputes due to potential grief-related memory issues.
- The memoir recounts details of Diana’s funeral, including Spencer’s claim that he insisted Prince William and Prince Harry participate in the procession despite initial plans to exclude them.
- Spencer’s book explores the troubled marriage of Diana and Charles, marked by extramarital affairs, including Charles’ relationship with now-Queen Camilla.
- Prince Harry was reportedly aware of the memoir’s allegations and discussed the book with Spencer during a recent visit to Althorp; the book is set for release on September 22.
