Page Six • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Prince William has declined multiple offers to participate in documentaries about his late mother, Princess Diana, aiming to avoid rivalry with his brother Harry over tributes as the 30th anniversary of her death approaches in 2027.
- William views his public tributes during the 20th anniversary in 2017 as a form of personal catharsis and remains emotional about Diana’s passing, with no firm decision yet on how he will commemorate the upcoming milestone.
- Rumors suggest Prince Harry is planning a documentary about Diana, reportedly collaborating with their uncle Charles Spencer, who has recently published a memoir about their late sister.
- Harry has approached some of Diana’s friends for participation in a potential film, which is expected to be produced by Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Productions and possibly acquired by Netflix.
- Charles Spencer has previously declined numerous documentary requests about Diana, including one from a nephew, though it is unclear whether this was from William or Harry.
