Earl Spencer, in his upcoming memoir, claims that King Charles expressed contempt for Princess Diana after her death, stating that she would be forgotten 'soon enough.' This remark reportedly followed a disagreement over whether her sons, William and Harry, should walk in her funeral procession. Spencer's book, 'Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,' is expected to be critical of the Royal Family and is set to be published next week.

Additionally, it was reported that copies of the Dutch edition of Spencer's book were stolen from a truck in the Netherlands while en route to a warehouse. Buckingham Palace has not commented on the allegations made in the memoir, which may reignite discussions about the Royal Family's handling of Diana's legacy and the impact on her sons.

Earl Spencer's memoir could spark renewed scrutiny of the Royal Family's relationship with Diana's legacy. Readers should watch for public reactions and potential fallout, especially from William and Harry, as they navigate their mother's memory amidst ongoing family tensions.
