Diana Film Plan May Deepen Rift Between Prince William and Prince Harry
The long-running dispute between Prince William and Prince Harry is reportedly intensifying, with new claims suggesting a proposed film project about their mother could further damage any chance of reconciliation.
According to a report cited by Radar Online, sources close to the situation say Harry is considering a Hollywood biopic centered on the life and legacy of Princess Diana. The project is said to have upset William, who allegedly views the idea as deeply inappropriate.
Insiders claim Harry wants to present his mother’s story for a new generation and feels personally responsible for shaping how her experiences are portrayed. He reportedly does not believe he needs his brother’s approval to move forward.
William, however, is said to strongly disagree. Sources suggest he sees the proposed film as a misuse of Diana’s personal suffering and believes certain aspects of her life should remain private. One insider described the disagreement as a serious boundary issue from William’s perspective.
Tension could reportedly grow further if the project is pitched to Netflix, where Harry and Meghan Markle already have a content deal. William is believed to have been unhappy with how the royal family was previously depicted in the Netflix drama series The Crown, making that platform a particularly sensitive choice.
Sources also say Meghan would likely play a key role in developing the film if it proceeds. That possibility reportedly adds to William’s concerns, though Harry is described as fully supportive of her involvement and regularly seeks her input on major decisions.
Both brothers are said to remain deeply emotional about their mother’s legacy, with unresolved grief continuing to influence their reactions. Harry reportedly feels Diana’s story has not always been handled well by royal institutions and believes he is best placed to present it with accuracy and empathy.
Meanwhile, William is said to be determined to push back against any project he believes turns Diana’s memory into commercial material, setting the stage for yet another clash between the two princes.
