Earl Spencer, the younger brother of the late Princess Diana, recently made headlines and even sparked a rare reaction from Buckingham Palace when he released his book on his sister.

Charles Spencer's memoir "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister" published last month, nearly 30 years after Princess Diana's death, contains a series of allegations about his sister's former marriage to King Charles and the aftermath of her death.

Spencer writes that ‌then-Prince Charles had told him "we'll forget her soon enough" during an angry phone call after Diana's death, following what he said had been a disagreement over whether her sons Princes William and Harry should walk behind their mother's coffin.

In the book, Spencer writes that Charles had sounded "giddily elated" and "like a lottery winner" when he had called him after Diana's death.

Spencer says that he had later suspected Charles ⁠may have been thinking about how Diana's death could free him to marry Camilla, now his wife, though he acknowledged in a BBC interview that he could not know for certain what Charles was thinking.
