Spencer memoir alleges Charles said Diana would be forgotten as copies are stolen in Dutch lorry

Thousands of copies of Charles Spencer's forthcoming memoir about his sister Princess Diana were taken from a lorry parked on a Dutch lay‑by, prompting a Dutch police investigation. The book, titled "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister" and due for publication on September 22, says the late King Charles told Spencer that Diana would soon be forgotten after her death. Spencer has reiterated this claim in interviews, while Buckingham Palace has issued a statement suggesting that grief can affect memory and judgment. The memoir’s allegations and the suspicious theft have both drawn significant public attention ahead of the book’s launch.
