# Buckingham Palace has rejected claims by the late Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer, in his forthcoming memoir about events following her death in 1997. He alleges then-Prince Charles told him Diana would soon be forgotten. This happened during an argument over whether Princes William and Harry should walk behind their mother’s coffin. The palace says grief can affect memory and judgment, effectively challenging Spencer’s account. The memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, due to be published next week, has reopened tensions between Spencer and the royal family.
