An unreleased book by Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, has been stolen in the Netherlands. The book reportedly claims that King Charles said a phrase "we'll forget her soon enough" days after Princess Diana died. Buckingham Palace issued an unusual public statement, reported as sharp, rejecting the claim. The theft and the King's statement have put fresh focus on Spencer's account. Spencer is the brother of the late princess. He wrote the book centred on his sister's life. The book had not yet been released. Police in the Netherlands have not released details. The palace has made no further comment. The reported quote has prompted discussion after the theft. The claim was dismissed by the palace. The manuscript has not been found.
