What to know

  • Prince Harry is reportedly developing a documentary about Princess Diana to mark the 30th anniversary of her death in August 2027, with plans for Archewell Productions to produce it and Netflix to acquire it.
  • Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, has indicated hesitation about participating, choosing instead to publish his own memoir to tell his account 'honestly' without consulting family members.
  • Prince William is reportedly unhappy with the project, viewing it as Harry attempting to monopolize their shared mother's legacy, with the brothers now estranged after collaborating on a Diana documentary in 2017.

“I did not consult any members of my family about the content of the book, as I did not want to implicate them in my authorial decisions, or to be constrained by them.”

    Royal experts report Prince William frustrated with Harry's Diana project

    Richard Kay claims that Prince William is not happy with the potential film and is frustrated with "people always linking Harry to Diana," noting that William is equally his mother's son. Kay suggests Harry has tried to claim the Diana legacy for himself, contrasting this with the brothers' 2017 collaborative documentary.

    “William is just as much his mother's son as Harry is, and Harry has tried to claim the Diana legacy for himself.”
    — Richard Kay, Daily Mail Senior Editor-at-Large

    Earl Spencer indicates hesitation, prioritizes own memoir over documentary participation — Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, has written in his new memoir "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister" that he chose to write the book to avoid being a "talking head" in one of many productions planned about his sister, fearing they would follow a "flawed" agenda. He said the book deserved to be told "honestly, however uncomfortable for others."
