Buckingham Palace hits back at claims in a book by Princess Diana’s brother

Buckingham Palace is denying a claim by Princess Diana’s brother that King Charles III said she would soon be forgotten after her death. In a new book, Charles Spencer recounts arguing with the then-Prince Charles over plans for Prince William and Prince Harry to walk behind Diana’s coffin in 1997. Spencer claims Charles said: “Rest assured, we’ll forget her soon enough.”

Billie Jean King to present Lisa Bluder with the Joe Lapchick Character Award

When Lisa Bluder first met Billie Jean King, the tennis icon signed a piece of paper saying: “pressure is a privilege, go Iowa basketball.” Bluder put that up in the Hawkeyes’ locker room as a constant reminder to her teams. The two reconnected years later when King started following the Hawkeyes' run with Caitlin Clark and became friends. When she retired, Bluder joined King’s management agency. King will present the former Iowa coach Friday as Bluder is honored with the Joe Lapchick Character Award. Bluder will be given the award along with Mike Brey, James Jones and Ernie Johnson.
