Prince Harry has been reaching out to friends of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, in an effort to produce a film about her for the 30th anniversary of her death next summer, according to reports.
The 41-year-old came back to the UK last month, with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, now living with him in an undisclosed location in the UK.
The couple’s surprising return to the UK was only made public weeks before they arrived on August 26, with King Charles receiving notification of their intentions just three days before the announcement was made. It comes as King Charles issued a letter clarifying Harry and Meghan’s royal status.
Speaking on Palace Confidential, the Daily Mail’s Senior Editor-at-Large Richard Kay revealed Harry has been contacting some of his late mother’s former friends in an attempt to secure their participation in a new documentary.
Speaking to host Luke Blackall, Mr Kay said, “Diana has dominated the thinking of both William and Harry for the last 10 years.”

Addressing Harry’s rumored project, he continued, “I am told that one of the reasons Harry’s here is to make a television film, his own film, about his mother.
“I know he has been reaching out to his friends and others who knew her, asking them to contribute. That’s going to occupy a lot of his headspace over the next 12 months.”
The expert continued, “Of course, it throws up that old canard. People always link Harry to Diana, but she was the mother of two boys. William is just as much his mother’s son as Harry is, and Harry has tried to claim the Diana legacy for himself, to William’s intense frustration.
“…This issue of trying to use Diana, the Spencer brand, the Spencer name, to divide himself away from the House of Windsor, I think is something we’re going to see even more of.
“Let’s not forget who Harry spent time with when he was here in July, it was Diana’s family at Althorp.”
Reports indicated that during his family’s trip to the UK last month, Harry allegedly stayed with his uncle, Earl Spencer, accompanied by Meghan, Archie and Lilibet.
Posting images from their visit on Instagram, Meghan included a photograph of both Archie and Lilibet at what seemed to be the Althorp estate.
