伦敦讯 —— 戴安娜王妃在巴黎遭遇车祸去世近30年后，她的兄长就英国王室据称在筹划她葬礼期间对她的不公对待提出了新的指控。
白金汉宫方面表示他的说法有误，称其记忆因悲痛而模糊不清。
“我认为在一本书中还原戴安娜的真实经历是我的职责，”戴安娜的弟弟查尔斯·斯宾塞对CBS新闻说道。他将在本周末“CBS周日早间新闻”的独家专访中详细阐述这些新指控。
在将于下周出版的《绝唱：我的妹妹戴安娜》一书中，斯宾塞写道，他曾对当时还是王储的查尔斯三世国王表示，他反对让戴安娜年幼的两个儿子威廉王子和哈里王子参加母亲的送葬游行。
斯宾塞在书中称，当时的王储在回应他的反对意见时，质疑了他的家庭责任感，并对他说：“放心吧，我们很快就会把她忘掉。”该书的节选内容已由英国小报《每日邮报》率先刊发。
这两位当时分别为12岁和15岁的年轻王子最终还是加入了送葬队伍，这张两兄弟走在母亲灵柩后的画面至今仍被广泛流传。
斯宾塞指责这位现任英国君主对其前妻“怀有轻蔑之意”。
白金汉宫周三晚间发表了一份简短声明，并未直接指责斯宾塞撒谎，但表示国王“深知丧亲之痛可能会扰乱理智、影响判断并扭曲记忆”。
1997年，英国民众对戴安娜的悼念之情如潮水般涌来，王室因此遭到严厉批评，许多人认为王室未能理解英国乃至全世界民众对她离世的悲痛。
这很快成为了白金汉宫的一场公关灾难，三十年来王室始终未能完全摆脱此次事件的影响。
“他们永远无法真正安葬戴安娜，”CBS新闻王室专栏撰稿人罗亚·妮克哈周四表示，“因为人们对她的记忆仍会时不时地困扰着王室。”
身为《星期日泰晤士报》王室编辑的妮克哈称，国王的家族将迎来“一段非常棘手的时期”，她预测斯宾塞关于国王在戴安娜去世后所言的指控“只是系列爆料的开始，后续还会有更多……我们知道在该书下周出版前，还会出现一些相当轰动的指控”。
“这将迫使白金汉宫进入应对模式，”妮克哈说道，“他们必须决定是逐一回应所有指控，还是仅以王室此前发表的声明作为最终回应。但这将让王室陷入防御姿态，对国王来说将非常艰难。”
在斯宾塞的新指控曝光前，英国王室本已事务缠身。
查尔斯三世国王仍在接受某种未明确类型癌症的治疗，他的儿媳威尔士王妃凯瑟琳也刚结束该疾病的治疗，目前正在康复中。
与此同时，哈里王子和梅根近期从美国加州返回英国，再次引发了人们对他们与王室其他成员长期不和的关注。

Late Princess Diana’s brother claims King Charles told him, “we’ll forget her soon enough” before funeral

London — Nearly 30 years after Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris, her brother is making new claims about the way he says she was mistreated by Britain’s royal family — even as they planned her funeral.
Buckingham Palace is suggesting he got it wrong, with his recollections clouded by grief.
“I felt it my duty to lay out the true story of Diana in one book,” Charles Spencer, Diana’s younger brother, told CBS News. He will outline his new claims in an exclusive interview on “CBS Sunday Morning” this weekend.

In “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” set to be published next week, Spencer writes that he told King Charles III, who was then Prince Charles, he objected to the plan for her young sons Princes William and Harry to walk in her funeral procession.
Spencer says in his book, excerpts of which are being published by the Daily Mail tabloid in Britain, that the then Prince Charles responded to his objection by questioning his family’s sense of duty, and telling him: “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough.”
The young princes, then 12 and 15, did join the procession, yielding images of the two boys walking behind their mother’s coffin that have endured to this day.
Spencer accuses the now-British monarch of having “contempt” for his ex-wife.

Buckingham Palace responded with a terse statement Wednesday evening, which avoided calling Spencer a liar, but said the king “is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgement and colour memory.”
The unprecedented outpouring of grief for Diana in 1997 led to harsh criticism of the royal family, with many feeling they appeared not to understand the nation’s, and indeed the world’s, pain over her death.
It quickly became a public relations disaster for the palace, one it has struggled to get past for three decades.
“They will never be able to lay Diana to rest,” CBS News royal contributor Roya Nikkhah said Thursday, “because the memory of her continues to occasionally haunt the royal family.”
Nikkhah, who is the Royal Editor for The Sunday Times newspaper, said the king’s family was in for “a very tricky few days,” predicting that Spencer’s claims about what the king said after Dana died would be “just the beginning of a serialization that will go on … and we know there are going to be some pretty sensational claims” ahead of the book’s release next week.

“That is going to put Buckingham Palace into reactive mode,” Nikkhah said. “They will have to decide whether or not they’re going about each and every claim, or just to make that first response we’ve heard from the palace their definitive response. But it’s going to put them into fight mode, and it’s going to be very difficult for the king.”
The British royals already had a lot on their plate before Spencer’s new claims started to emerge.
King Charles is still receiving treatment for an unspecified form of cancer, and his daughter-in-law Catherine, the Princess of Wales, is recovering after her own treatment for the disease.
Prince Harry and Meghan’s recent return to the U.K. from California, meanwhile, has renewed attention on their long-running schism with the rest of the royal family.
