Charles Spencer, an Earl, and brother to the late Princess Diana just gave his answer to King Charles’ and Buckingham Palace’s rebuttal of his recollection of events.
A Palace that is famous for saying ‘recollections may vary’ to things said by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently spoke against Diana’s brother and his admission that King Charles once hissed at him and said, “we’ll forget her soon enough”.
The full statement for those unversed, reads as follows; “while we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.”
The Earl’s response has been shared alongside The Mail on Sunday and reads, “It is not every day you wake up to find you’ve been gaslit by the King. It was astonishingly provocative and below the belt because it was essentially trying to say I’d lied without the King being able to deny what I’d said. I also thought it was a rather poor imitation of the ‘recollections may vary’ quote, which was a much more elegant way of putting things, but in these circumstances entirely out of place.”
He also reiterated a similar claim—one he shared with The Daily Mail two days ago and doubled down on his memory of the phone call.
“[The King] went ballistic, would be the right term, and started really going for my family as a whole, about their sense of duty, not being adequate enough, and ranted for a while, I have no idea how long, but it was a significant period, and I just listened,” he started his trip down memory lane by saying.
“And then he stopped, and I thought, ‘Oh now he’s going to pull himself together and say something more appropriate’. And then he said, ‘We’ll forget her soon enough’. I told friends and family straight away, close friends and family, about what had been said, because it was so monstrous. I’m telling the truth.”
