Case

Earl Spencer's memoir claims about King Charles's reaction to Diana's death

Relationship to this case: Participant

Charles Spencer's memoir alleges then-Prince Charles told him days after Diana's 1997 death that the world would "forget her soon enough," and that he sounded "giddily elated" on the call. Buckingham Palace neither confirmed nor denied the account, citing grief's effect on memory.
