Laura has interviewed Princess Diana鈥檚 brother, Earl Spencer, who has defended his claims about a phone call with King Charles.

He says the then-Prince of Wales said "we'll forget her soon enough" during an argument over whether Princes William and Harry should walk in Diana's funeral procession.

The Palace released a statement questioning his version of events, saying 鈥済rief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory.鈥�

So, what does the Earl Spencer say to that? And has this row become about integrity, and the right to tell Princess Diana鈥檚 story?

Laura takes us behind the scenes of the interview. We will publish the full version at 16:00 on Sunday, as well as an analysis episode.
