Prince Harry Breaks Silence Amid King Charles, Princess Diana Brother’s New Disagreement
Prince Harry has made a fresh public move just hours after Buckingham Palace responded to explosive claims made by his uncle, Earl Spencer, about King Charles and the late Princess Diana.
The Duke of Sussex has not directly addressed the growing dispute surrounding his mother and father.
Instead, attention turned to Harry after the official Invictus Games account announced a major event taking place in London, placing him back in the public spotlight as the royal row intensified.
The development comes after excerpts from Earl Spencer’s memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, reignited controversy over events surrounding Diana’s death in 1997.
Palace Responds to Earl Spencer’s Claim
In his memoir, Diana’s brother recalled an alleged telephone conversation with the then-Prince Charles.
Spencer claimed the exchange became heated as the pair discussed events following Diana’s death.
According to his account, Charles allegedly told him that his sister would be forgotten “soon enough”.
The allegation prompted a rare response from Buckingham Palace.
A spokesperson said: “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.”
The Palace statement did not directly confirm or deny the exact words attributed to Charles.
Instead, it questioned whether grief may have influenced Spencer’s recollection of the conversation.
The intervention quickly pushed the disagreement back into the headlines, with renewed attention on the complicated history surrounding Diana, Charles and her family.
Harry Turns Focus to Invictus
Just hours after the Palace response, a new announcement connected to Prince Harry appeared online.
The official Instagram account for the Invictus Games 2027 revealed that the first-ever Invictus Spirit Awards would take place in London.
The announcement read: “Tomorrow, the first ever #InvictusSpirit Awards take place in London.”
It continued: “We’ll come together to recognise the people whose courage, commitment and contribution have made a lasting difference to the Invictus Movement.”
The event will celebrate people whose stories of resilience and dedication have helped inspire and support the international Invictus community.
Harry founded the Invictus Games and has remained closely associated with the organisation since its creation.
The London event therefore puts one of his most significant long-term projects back at the centre of attention during another intense period for the Royal Family.
No Direct Response From Harry to Diana Row
Despite headlines suggesting Harry had “broken his silence”, the Invictus announcement did not address Earl Spencer’s claims or Buckingham Palace’s response.
There was no comment in the supplied report from Harry about the allegation involving his father and mother.
His latest public-facing move instead remained focused entirely on the Invictus community and the upcoming awards.
That distinction is particularly important given the deeply personal nature of the dispute.
Both Harry and Prince William were young when Diana died in Paris in August 1997, and renewed discussion of the period inevitably brings attention back to one of the most traumatic chapters of their lives.
For now, Harry has given no indication that he intends to become directly involved in the latest disagreement between his uncle and Buckingham Palace.
London Event Puts Harry Back in Spotlight
The timing of the Invictus Spirit Awards means Harry will once again be connected to a major London event while the wider royal controversy continues.
However, the announcement itself was about recognising individuals who have contributed to the Invictus Movement rather than responding to family tensions.
The awards are intended to highlight courage, commitment and resilience within the international community created around the Games.
As Earl Spencer’s memoir continues to generate headlines, Buckingham Palace has already taken the unusual step of publicly challenging the context of his recollections.
Harry, meanwhile, appears to be keeping his attention on Invictus.
Whether he eventually comments on the claims involving Diana and King Charles remains unknown, but for the moment his latest public move has been focused firmly on the organisation he founded rather than the latest royal family dispute.
