King Charles and Princess Diana controversy
Notably, the Prince and Princess will visit the Isle of Bute amid King Charles lands in new controversy as he allegedly told Princess Diana's brother that she would be forgotten "soon enough" in a horrific phone call following her death in 1997.
The first preview of Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, published by the Daily Mail on Wednesday, September 16, claims the 9th Earl Spencer revealed the monarch’s alleged “pent-up contempt” for the then-Princess of Wales following her death in a Paris car crash.
"He unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death," Spencer claimed.
'Rest assured,'" he hissed, 'we'll forget her soon enough!'" read the preview.
Spencer recalled Charles' alleged remarks and being too "stunned" to respond.
"I can't believe you just said that," Spencer told Charles before hanging up the phone.
The phone call allegedly took place as the Earl and the then-Prince Charles weighed whether Prince William and Prince Harry, then 15 and 12, would walk behind her coffin during the funeral procession.
