King Charles ‘hissed’ Diana insult in call to me after she died, claims Earl Spencer in new interview on US TV

EARL Spencer has accused the King of hissing “We’ll forget her soon enough” after Di’s 1997 death. The princess’s brother also accused Charles of gaslighting him. In his new book, he claims they rowed over the phone call about funeral arrangements, and told ABC News: “I’ll never forget the five words ‘We’ll forget her soon enough’ — and he didn’t say it, he hissed it.” The Palace said last week that “fraternal grief” had clouded the Earl’s judgment.

The Earl says the then-Mirror editor “snarled with annoyance” when requested not to attend Diana’s funeral in 1997. Morgan says the book makes him “come across in the most despicable manner imaginable”, adding: “There’s just one problem, it’s all b******t” and easy for me to prove. He adds: “The photos (of Di in a gym) which he said that I published were printed by the Sunday Mirror on November 7 1993. “I joined the Daily Mirror in October 1995.” “People have asked me if I’m bitter, angry or not, I’m really not, I’m not.” And he insisted: “”It’s not tittle-tattle. “I’m not trying to damage the monarchy or whatever I’ve been accused of doing. “I wanted to do this properly once and for all for Diana and remind those who knew her when she was alive, why they connected with her.”
