According to reports, the Prince of Wales may seek legal advice over the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to develop a documentary marking the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death.
The film is reportedly in the works with Netflix and is slated for release in August 2027 — three decades after Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris.
Sources told Radar Online that the documentary will “examine Diana’s life, her treatment by the media and the monarchy, and the impact of her death on her sons”.
William’s Reported Objections
Those close to the 43-year-old heir to the throne claim he feels deeply uncomfortable about revisiting his mother’s story in what he reportedly views as a commercial enterprise — particularly given Meghan’s alleged involvement, as she never met Diana.
“What has struck a nerve for William is the extent of Meghan’s role in the project,” a source told the outlet.
“He feels that allowing her to influence or derive any benefit from Diana’s legacy crosses a deeply personal boundary, and he experiences it as a betrayal of his mother rather than a tribute.”
