Earl Spencer's Claims About King Charles 'Not a Surprise' to William and Harry, Says Author

Author A.N. Wilson asserts that claims made by Earl Spencer in his new book are credible, suggesting that Prince William and Prince Harry were likely already aware of the content. Wilson, a friend of the Spencer family, stated that an anecdote shared by Earl Spencer years ago convinced him of the truthfulness of the Earl's current assertions.

In his book, Earl Spencer alleges that shortly after Princess Diana's death, King Charles III told him, "We'll forget about her soon enough." Wilson recounted this anecdote, emphasizing that he believes Earl Spencer "is telling us the truth." He added that this sentiment from Charles would "not be a surprise to them" (William and Harry), implying the princes may have heard similar remarks or sentiments from their uncle previously.

Earl Spencer's book, published recently, details his relationship with his sister, Princess Diana, and his views on the royal family. The controversial statement attributed to King Charles is a key point of contention, with Earl Spencer asserting its authenticity. Wilson's endorsement lends weight to the Earl's account, suggesting a pre-existing awareness within the royal family regarding King Charles's attitudes following Diana's death.
