Charles Spencer's Diana memoir stolen days before Dutch launch

A memoir by Charles Spencer, the brother of Princess Diana, was stolen just days before its scheduled launch in the Netherlands. The unpublished book, which Spencer had been preparing for years, vanished from a secure storage facility while copies were being printed. The theft was reported to local police, who have opened an investigation but have not released details on suspects. In the same week, rumors surfaced about a phone call in which King Charles allegedly told Spencer that the royal family would “forget Diana soon enough,” a comment Spencer later referenced when discussing the stolen manuscript. Spencer, who holds the title Earl Spencer, said the loss was a blow to the project and urged fans to wait for the official release. No further statements have been made by the palace or Dutch authorities.
