Earl Spencer used a GMA interview to explain what set him off: the palace, which by tradition doesn’t respond to books at all, broke protocol to push back on his memoir about Diana, saying His Majesty is mindful that “the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory.”

He didn’t accept the framing. “What I said is straight and true,” he said, calling the palace response condescending and “not straight.”

The line at the center of it all is his account that then-Prince Charles told him “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough” in the days after Diana’s death in 1997. Spencer says what surprised him is that the palace statement never directly denied the quote. “It doesn’t say he didn’t say it either. That’s what I found interesting.”

Spencer has said the words in his book aren’t just his truth but the truth, and he wants them recorded for posterity. His memoir, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” is out Tuesday, Sept. 22, in the UK and US, with more excerpts expected to follow.
