BREAKING NEWS: Prince William harshly ‘responds’ after Harry gathers Diana’s personal info
Prince William ‘horrified’ as Prince Harry gathers Diana’s personal memories for new documentary with Meghan Markle
Prince Harry’s latest project centred on his late mother Princess Diana has reportedly left his estranged brother Prince William deeply unhappy, with sources claiming the Prince of Wales is “horrified” by the prospect of the Sussexes telling Diana’s story on screen.
The Duke of Sussex is said to have begun researching his mother’s life for a forthcoming documentary, with reports suggesting that he has been reaching out to some of Diana’s closest friends as part of the project.
But Harry is reportedly not working alone.
His wife, Meghan Markle, is also said to be closely involved in the production, a development that could further inflame tensions between the Sussexes and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
According to a royal source quoted in reports, Harry believes Meghan’s involvement makes perfect sense because she is not only his wife but also his “producing partner”.
The source claimed Meghan brings significant production experience to the project and suggested that Harry feels she has a particular connection with Diana.
“From Harry’s perspective, it makes perfect sense to have Meghan heavily involved in this project,” the source said.
“She’s his producing partner, and she brings a ton of expertise to the table.”
The insider went even further, claiming Harry believes Meghan reminds him strongly of his mother and that her perspective gives him an additional way of looking at Diana’s life.
The alleged involvement of the Spencer family has also added another intriguing dimension to the project.
Reports have claimed that footage is already being collected with the support of members of Diana’s family, potentially giving the documentary access to personal memories and material connected to the late princess.
Yet there is reportedly one major obstacle standing in Harry and Meghan’s way: Prince William.
According to an unnamed source close to William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, the future King is said to be particularly uncomfortable with the idea of Meghan being presented as a modern-day version of Diana.
The source claimed William “can’t fathom” the narrative that Meghan is somehow “Diana 2.0”.
The alleged criticism reportedly goes even further, with William said to be unhappy that Harry and Meghan could be taking control of a tribute to his mother while working on the project in Britain.
For William, the issue is reportedly not simply about Harry making a documentary.
It is about how Diana’s legacy is portrayed — and who gets to tell her story.
The source claimed that William believes Catherine is far more similar to Diana in the way she approaches her memory.
“He says if anyone is like Diana, it’s Kate,” the insider alleged, describing the Princess of Wales as equally devoted to preserving Diana’s memory but supposedly less interested in publicity.
That alleged position highlights the starkly different approaches taken by the two royal brothers when it comes to their mother’s legacy.
Both William and Harry have spoken publicly over the years about the profound impact Diana’s death had on their lives. But their relationship with the media, the monarchy and Diana’s public image has increasingly taken very different paths.
Harry has repeatedly spoken about his memories of his mother and the circumstances surrounding her death, while William has generally adopted a more restrained approach to discussing Diana publicly.
Now, if reports of Harry’s documentary plans are accurate, those contrasting approaches could once again collide.
For Harry, the project could represent an opportunity to explore his mother’s life from a deeply personal perspective.
For William, however, the prospect of his brother and sister-in-law shaping a major new portrayal of Diana could prove considerably harder to accept.
There has been no official confirmation from Kensington Palace or the Sussexes of the claims surrounding William’s alleged reaction.
But if Harry’s documentary does move forward, the question of who controls — and defines — Princess Diana’s enduring legacy could become the latest flashpoint in the brothers’ long-running feud.
