Rumors surrounding a potential documentary about Princess Diana have ignited further discord between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and his brother, Prince William.
Despite public denials from the Sussexes, insiders claim the reports have deepened the rift within the royal family, particularly between Harry and William.
Prince William's reaction to the alleged documentary
The controversy began when sources suggested that Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, were in talks with Netflix to create a documentary about Harry's late mother, Princess Diana.
The project, reportedly set to be released in 2027 on the 20th anniversary of Diana's death, would allegedly be narrated by Harry himself. However, when Prince William learned about the rumors, insiders claim he was enraged.
"William has long suspected something like this would happen since Harry and Meghan moved to America. He was already frustrated with Meghan's involvement in what he perceives as a 'disgraceful' attempt to profit off their mother's memory. But the documentary idea really crossed the line for him." An anonymous source close to the royal family said,
While Harry and Meghan have denied the rumors about the documentary, the fact that the reports originated from an unnamed source rather than the Sussexes' official spokesperson leaves many wondering whether the project is still in development. A Hollywood insider described the situation as "murky," further adding to the uncertainty surrounding the matter.
Even if the Diana documentary does not come to fruition, reports indicate that Harry and Meghan may still be working on a project with personal ties to Harry's childhood.
The couple's production company, Archewell Productions, has acquired the rights to the novel Meet Me at the Lake by Carey Fortune. The book's storyline, which revolves around a protagonist whose mother dies in a car accident, has drawn comparisons to Harry's own tragic past.
"The plot feels uncomfortably close to home for him. William can't believe Harry would consider sharing such personal stories for entertainment, especially given the family's history."
Tensions between the brothers continue to run high, with some sources suggesting that William may seek to remove Harry and Meghan's royal titles once he ascends the throne.
As Harry and Meghan continue to build their media presence, it appears the divide between them and the rest of the royal family is only widening.
With each new development, the strained relationship between the Sussexes and the royals seems further entrenched, leaving questions about the future of their ties.
