According to multiple insider claims, the dispute has placed strain on their already delicate relationship, as discussions surrounding Diana’s legacy continue to resurface nearly three decades after her tragic passing.
Netflix Project Allegedly at the Center of the Dispute
Reports suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are developing a documentary focused on Diana, with hopes of releasing it around the 30th anniversary of her death in August 1997.
The project is said to be part of their ongoing content development under their production company, Archwell Productions, as they continue working with Netflix.
However, sources claim that Charles Spencer has expressed strong reservations, reportedly refusing to support the idea or grant access to the Spencer family’s private archives at Althorp Estate.
Alleged “Explosive” Private Meeting
Insiders allege that a tense discussion took place when Charles Spencer reportedly interrupted his honeymoon travel to meet Harry and Meghan in Montecito.
One source claimed the meeting quickly became heated, with concerns raised that the documentary may focus more on Meghan than on Princess Diana herself.
“Charles felt the project was not truly about Diana and was deeply offended,” an insider reportedly said.
Following the alleged fallout, speculation grew that access to key family materials and archives may now be permanently restricted.
Claims About Diana Crash Investigation Files
Further unverified reports suggest interest from Harry and Meghan in accessing a sealed French police dossier relating to Diana’s 1997 Paris crash.
The 6,000-page file reportedly contains witness statements, forensic findings, and toxicology reports related to the incident. It remains sealed in France until at least 2082.
Sources claim the couple believe the documents could provide deeper insight and emotional closure surrounding Diana’s final hours, as well as strengthen their documentary narrative.
Netflix Future and Business Uncertainty
The speculation comes at a time when Harry and Meghan’s media ventures face growing scrutiny.
While their initial Netflix documentary performed strongly, later projects have reportedly struggled to match its success.
Industry chatter suggests uncertainty around their long-term relationship with the streaming platform, despite their extended deal and continued production efforts.
What Happens Next?
As of now, neither Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, nor Charles Spencer have publicly confirmed the alleged dispute.
However, the ongoing attention around Princess Diana’s legacy continues to fuel global interest, making any related documentary one of the most anticipated royal media projects in recent years.
