“An inside account of the implosion of Charles and Diana’s marriage, and Harry’s story of Diana’s death and its aftermath would be the TV sensation of all time.”

William’s Different Approach

Both brothers appeared in a 2017 documentary marking the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death, back when Harry was still a working royal.

But according to another insider, William had intended for that project to be his “final word” on his mother’s passing.

Now, speculation that Harry may return to the subject with a major Netflix production could put William in a difficult position.

“If Harry is now going to do another massive Netflix show effectively claiming her legacy, William will have to fight back, whether that’s with an interview or a documentary of his own,” the source explained. “The whole situation is just very sad.”

Despite their deep rift, Diana’s legacy has remained one of the few forces to bring the brothers together.

In July 2021, William and Harry reunited to unveil a statue of their mother in the Sunken Garden of Kensington Palace. The joint event came only months after the Sussexes’ explosive Oprah Winfrey interview, which heavily criticized the royal family.
