Prince WIlliam and Harry’s uncle Charles Spencer has dropped new bombshell after revealing King Charles’ shocking comments about Princess Diana after her death.
Princess Diana’s brother claimed that he told Barbara Walters about the remark allegedly made by King Charles in the wake of Diana’s death.
Earl Spencer appeared on CBS Mornings on September 28 to discuss “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” his new book about his sibling that came out last week.
Host Gayle King brought up Buckingham Palace’s rare response to the text, released following the publication of a book excerpt in which Spencer recalls a phone call with then-Charles.

Spencer, 62, said in the latest interview, “The part of the conversation they’re particularly upset by is when he said to me about Diana, ‘We’ll forget her soon enough.’ And I know I heard that. I’ve only had two conversations on the phone with the now-King, so it’s definitely the case.”
He continued that he told people about the comment after it occurred, including a major journalist.
“I told people at the time. I told Barbara Walters, actually, at the time,” Spencer said. “But they have to gaslight; they have to sort of pretend there’s something wrong with my mind or my memory. There’s nothing wrong with either.”
Walters, who died in 2022, was not known to have a close relationship with Spencer, but the pair were photographed together at events through the years, including an April 1997 White House correspondents dinner.
She covered Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles, and she interviewed the now-King in 1984.
