BREAKING: New reports confirm that Prince William and Prince Harry could be heading for a showdown as they contemplate producing rival documentaries about their mother, Princess Diana, to mark the 30th anniversary of her death in 2027. Sources indicate that Harry’s Archewell production company is in discussions with industry insiders about a project that promises to explore Diana’s life and legacy in a fresh light.
As tensions rise, insiders reveal that William is likely to feel compelled to respond if Harry’s project moves forward. A senior executive from a U.K. production house stated, “Harry is looking to do a series about Diana in 2027. They want to secure the right partners, and we’ve had conversations with them.” The executive added that an in-depth account of Diana’s tumultuous marriage to King Charles III and the aftermath of her tragic death could become a media sensation.
Neither William nor Harry’s representatives have commented on these claims, but a close friend of William expressed deep concerns over Harry possibly “claiming her legacy.” They noted, “The film the brothers made for the 20th anniversary was meant to be the last word. But if Harry is now going to do another massive Netflix show effectively claiming her legacy, William will have to fight back.”
In a striking revelation, the friend also highlighted William’s reluctance to collaborate with the BBC, citing the network’s controversial Panorama interview tactics that harmed their mother. “It would be ridiculous to do it with the BBC,” they said.
The potential for Harry to present a personal narrative about Diana is believed to be a key factor in Netflix‘s ongoing partnership with him and Meghan Markle, particularly following a new first-look deal signed earlier this month. Any claims Harry makes about the circumstances surrounding Diana’s death could be explosive. In his memoir, Spare, he criticized the official account as “an insult” and suggested that there are “gaping logical holes” in the narrative.
Earlier this year, Harry hinted at his doubts regarding the official explanation for Diana’s death during a BBC interview, stating, “I think… the majority [of people] also don’t want history to repeat itself.” He added that he has seen secret government files related to her death, raising even more questions.
Harry has consistently framed himself as the guardian of Diana’s legacy, notably during a recent trip to Angola, where he recreated her famous walk through a minefield. “I am my mother’s son,” he reiterated during the launch of his foundation, Archewell, and again at the Invictus Games in 2022, emphasizing his commitment to honor her memory in all his endeavors.
As the clock ticks down to the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing, all eyes will be on how this potential rivalry unfolds. Will William step into the spotlight to defend his mother’s legacy? Or will Harry take the lead with a documentary that reshapes the narrative around Diana’s life and death?
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story that has captured the world’s attention.
