A Diana documentary may push the brothers further apart
Harry risks reopening old wounds with William if he presses ahead with plans for a new documentary about their mother, Princess Diana.
Reports suggest the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle are considering fresh projects following the renewal of their Netflix deal. One proposal being discussed is said to focus on Diana’s life, timed around the 30th anniversary of her death.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond cautioned Harry against pursuing such a project alone. Speaking to the Mirror, she said, “I’m sure Netflix are hoping that Harry will come up with an idea for a new royal documentary, and the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death would be an obvious choice.”
The brothers worked together on two acclaimed films marking the 20th anniversary of Diana’s passing. At the time, William made clear those documentaries were their final word, saying they would not revisit the subject so openly again.
Bond warned that another film, particularly one undertaken without William, would send shockwaves through the family and highlight the brothers’ fractured relationship. “How sad it would be if Harry decided to go it alone on another film about her. He shared that agonising loss with his brother. They were in shock together, they grieved together, and they walked side by side behind her coffin. A solo film by Harry would simply underline the bitter feud with his brother and would antagonise the rest of the family,” she said.
