A new memoir by Charles Spencer, Princess Diana's brother, brings back to the headlines the conflicts within the British royal family. In his book "The Swan's Song: Diana, My Sister," Spencer claims he confronted King Charles III after Diana's death in 1997, regarding the palace's intention to have the young princes William and Harry walk behind their mother's coffin during the funeral procession. According to him, Charles "lost his temper" during the argument and hurled at him: "Don't worry, we'll soon forget her." The book reveals a series of grim disclosures, including claims that Diana considered suicide and tried to cancel the wedding after realizing Charles did not love her, but was stopped by her father. Buckingham Palace issued an unusual and forceful statement: "His Majesty is aware that the pain of a brother's loss may cloud judgment." Spencer wondered in response: "Is he furious or is he embarrassed?"
