A bitter exchange between two men named Charles has erupted over the arrangements surrounding Princess Diana’s funeral.
In a deeply personal memoir, Charles Spencer alleges that Prince Charles reacted angrily in the days following Diana’s death and told him: “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough.” The full account is available to read here on Our News Outlet.
However, a Palace spokesman cast doubt on Earl Spencer’s recollection last week, suggesting that intense family grief can “cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory”.
The dispute has also sparked disagreement among Daily Mail columnists.
Jan Moir says she finds it impossible to believe that the then-Prince Charles could have taken pleasure in the death of his former wife.
Meanwhile, A.N. Wilson says a story Earl Spencer shared with him years ago has left him completely convinced that Spencer’s version of events is truthful.
