Quick Summary

Charles Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother, reaffirmed his claim on the BBC Friday that King Charles made “monstrous” comments about Diana after her death in 1997. He stated emphatically that Charles told him over the phone Diana would be forgotten "soon enough," and that he was “hyper alert” to the king's words at the time. Spencer, who claims these remarks reflected Charles’s “pent-up contempt,” made this statement ahead of his upcoming memoir release.

Story summary

In September 2026, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan moved their children, Prince Archie (aged seven) and Princess Lilibet (five), to a new school in Britain after just two days due to security concerns. The couple's spokesperson cited heavy traffic between their home and the original school as the reason for the move. This decision came shortly after Harry and Meghan returned to Britain from California, where they had lived for six years. Additionally, the family's publicly-funded security is currently being reviewed by a government committee known as Ravec (the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures).
