白金汉宫对戴安娜王妃的哥哥查尔斯·斯潘塞在一本即将出版的书中的说法做出了罕见的回应。
《每日邮报》周二发布了斯潘塞新书的预览,其中包括一项涉及1997年戴安娜去世后查尔斯三世的指控。
斯潘塞声称,在一次关于戴安娜葬礼安排的争论中,查尔斯,当时的威尔士王子,告诉他,“放心,我们很快就会忘记她,”根据摘录。
白金汉宫发言人在周三给美国广播公司新闻的声明中回应了这一说法。
声明中写道:“虽然我们原则上不评论书籍,但国王陛下注意到,兄弟般的悲痛会模糊理智,影响判断和颜色记忆,即使在这样的损失发生多年后,其他人也不会意识到这一点。”
这一反应对白金汉宫来说是不同寻常的,因为白金汉宫通常不会对有关皇室成员的书籍或报道发表评论。
哈里王子2023年的回忆录《备用》(Spare)发布后,王宫也保持公开沉默,尽管书中包含了许多关于查尔斯和其他王室成员的说法。
1997年8月31日,戴安娜乘坐的汽车在巴黎发生车祸后遇难。她当时36岁。
斯潘塞,戴安娜的弟弟,是一名作家和历史学家,在她的葬礼上致悼词。他即将出版的书《天鹅之歌:戴安娜,我的妹妹》从他作为她哥哥的角度讲述了戴安娜的一生。
ABC新闻联系了斯潘塞的出版商企鹅兰登书屋,请其发表评论。
Buckingham Palace rebuts claim in book by Princess Diana's brother
Buckingham Palace has issued a rare response to a claim made in an upcoming book byPrincess Diana's brother,Charles Spencer.
TheDaily Mailpublished a preview of Spencer's book on Tuesday that includes an allegation involvingKing Charles IIIin the days after Diana's death in 1997.
Spencer alleges that during a disagreement over Diana's funeral arrangements, Charles, who was then the Prince of Wales, told him, "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough," according to the excerpt.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson responded to the claim in a statement to ABC News on Wednesday.
"While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss," the statement read.
The response is unusual for Buckingham Palace, which typically does not comment on books or reports about members of the royal family.
The palace also remained publicly silent following the release of Prince Harry's 2023 memoir, "Spare," despite the book containing numerous claims about Charles and other members of the royal family.
Diana was killed on Aug. 31, 1997, after the car she was riding in crashed in Paris. She was 36 at the time.
Spencer, Diana's younger brother, is an author and historian who delivered the eulogy at her funeral. His upcoming book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," tells the story of Diana's life from his perspective as her brother.
ABC News has reached out to Spencer's publisher, Penguin Random House, for comment.
