Diana’s brother says he reported the remark to the late broadcaster in 1997, while Buckingham Palace questioned how grief may have affected his memory.
Key context
Earl Spencer says he told Barbara Walters in 1997 that the King had remarked, “we’ll forget her soon enough” after Diana, Princess of Wales’s death. The claim appears in his memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, and Buckingham Palace has responded that grief can affect memory and judgment. Spencer rejects any suggestion that his recollection is unreliable.
