Butte Bozeman, MT, September 17, 2026 —

Buckingham Palace has issued a statement in response to allegations brought forward by Earl Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana. The claims concern remarks purportedly made by King Charles III in the aftermath of Princess Diana’s death in 1997, as well as decisions regarding the funeral procession.

Earl Spencer alleged that King Charles III made an insensitive comment following the tragic event. He also reportedly objected to the plans for Princes William and Harry, then aged 15 and 12 respectively, to participate in the procession behind their mother’s coffin. The specific nature of the alleged insensitive remark made by King Charles III was not detailed in the provided information.

In its response, Buckingham Palace did not issue a direct denial of Earl Spencer’s allegations. Instead, a spokesperson for the Palace suggested that the intense emotions associated with grief can influence how individuals recall past events. The statement indicated that the recollection of events can be affected by such profound experiences.

The specific timeline for when these alleged comments were made by King Charles III, or when the discussions about the funeral procession took place, was not provided. Similarly, details regarding the outcome of any discussions or the precise nature of the objection to the procession plans were not specified.

Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997. Her funeral was held on September 6, 1997, and featured a public procession that included Princes William and Harry, their father Prince Charles (now King Charles III), and other family members. The emotional impact of these events on the royal family and the public was significant.

Further details concerning the alleged comments or the Palace’s internal deliberations regarding the funeral arrangements have not been made public.
