BREAKING: Tensions escalate between Prince William and Prince Harry as they consider producing rival documentaries about their mother, Princess Diana, to mark the 30th anniversary of her tragic death in 2027. Reports confirm that Harry’s Archewell production company is already in discussions with TV insiders to develop a documentary focused on Diana’s life and legacy.
Sources indicate that William may feel compelled to respond with his own film if Harry proceeds, fearing that his brother will “claim her legacy.” An executive from an independent production house stated, “Harry is looking to do a series about Diana in 2027. The right partners are being sought, and discussions are underway.” This potential documentary promises to delve into the intricacies of Charles and Diana’s marriage and the aftermath of Diana’s death, which could lead to significant public interest.
Both sides remain tight-lipped, with neither William nor Harry’s teams offering comments. However, a close friend of William’s revealed, “The film the brothers made for the 20th anniversary was meant to be the last word. But things have changed. If Harry is now going to do another massive Netflix show effectively claiming her legacy, William will have to fight back.” This situation is a poignant reminder of the ongoing rifts within the royal family.
William, reportedly, is highly unlikely to collaborate with the BBC, given the network’s controversial handling of Diana’s Panorama interview, which he believes harmed her reputation. A friend remarked, “It would be ridiculous to do it with the BBC.”
The motivation behind Harry’s documentary is believed to be tied to Netflix’s renewed interest in keeping Harry and Meghan on their platform, following a new first-look deal signed earlier this month. Should Harry decide to question the official narrative surrounding Diana’s death, which attributes it to her driver being intoxicated, it would undoubtedly generate sensational headlines.
In his memoir, Spare, Harry described the official explanation of his mother’s death as “an insult,” and hinted at deeper beliefs about the circumstances surrounding it. Earlier this year, he stated, “I don’t want history to repeat itself,” emphasizing his desire for transparency regarding royal history.
Harry has continually positioned himself as the guardian of Diana’s legacy, often referencing her humanitarian work in public appearances. He recently echoed his commitment during a trip to Angola, where he recreated one of her most iconic moments. “I am my mother’s son,” he has repeated in various contexts, reinforcing his connection to her mission.
As these developments unfold, the world watches closely. The potential for competing narratives about Princess Diana could redefine how her story is told in the media and affect public perceptions of the royal family. With both princes poised to take their stories to the screen, the coming months promise to be filled with revelations and emotional reflections on a beloved figure.
Stay tuned as we continue to provide updates on this unfolding story and its implications for both the royal family and the public.
