The Daily Mail has published an excerpt from the book in which Prince Charles is accused of insensitivity in connection with Princess Diana's funeral. When his brother objected to his sons, then children, walking in the funeral procession directly behind the coffin, Prince Charles is said to have replied: "We will forget her in time."
The Royal Household has now responded in an unusually strong way, writes the BBC:
"Although we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is aware that a brother's painful grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways that others do not recognize," the royal household writes.
"Swan Song - My Sister Diana" will be released in Swedish on September 26.
