Richmond Petersburg, VA, September 17, 2026 — Buckingham Palace has issued a statement addressing allegations brought forward by Earl Spencer, brother to the late Diana, Princess of Wales. The allegations concern a comment King Charles III reportedly made following Princess Diana’s death in 1997.

Earl Spencer recently made public claims about remarks allegedly made by King Charles III. In response to these claims, Buckingham Palace has officially commented, casting doubt on the accuracy of Earl Spencer’s recollection of events.

The Palace’s statement, as reported, suggests that the intense emotional period following Princess Diana’s passing may have impacted the reliability of memories. The statement implies that grief can be a factor that influences how individuals recall past events.

Specific details regarding the exact nature of the alleged comment made by King Charles III have not been provided in public statements from Earl Spencer or Buckingham Palace. The timeframe during which Earl Spencer made these allegations also remains unspecified in the summary provided. Similarly, the precise wording of Buckingham Palace’s response beyond its questioning of memory reliability has not been detailed.

Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. Her death prompted widespread public mourning. The allegations raised by her brother, Earl Spencer, surface years after the event and have now elicited a response from the Royal household.

The content of the Palace’s response centers on the psychological impact of grief, a factor it posits could affect memory recall. This approach indicates a strategy of questioning the foundation of the allegations without directly confirming or denying the alleged comment itself, instead focusing on the potential fallibility of memory under duress. No further action or investigation details have been disclosed by Buckingham Palace in relation to these claims.
