Prince William is reportedly heartbroken as people close to him profit from Princess Diana's story. Here is what royal insiders are saying.
Prince William is said to be going through a painful emotional period, with royal watchers claiming that people he trusts are now benefiting from a subject he holds very close to his heart: his late mother, Princess Diana.
According to reports, the future King feels deeply hurt by the growing number of documentaries, books and memoirs that revolve around Diana's life and legacy. For William, it is not just a headline. It is a private family loss that keeps being turned into public content.
The tension has reportedly grown after talk that Prince Harry is contacting Diana's close friends and relatives for a new documentary. The project is said to honour their mother on the 30th anniversary of her death. Adding to the pain, William's uncle, Earl Spencer, recently revived old memories with his book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.
Royal editor Russell Myers spoke about the situation on the Mirror's Pod Save the King YouTube show. He suggested that so many people are now earning money from Diana's name that the line between tribute and taste may have been crossed.
Co-host Jennifer Newton made a similar point. She noted that William appears to be the only one not making money from his mother's memory, and that many people feel sympathy for him because Diana was his mother as well.
Myers also believes William is feeling let down once again, this time by his brother, his sister-in-law and his uncle. In his view, the Prince of Wales is angry, but underneath that anger sits a much deeper sadness.
For now, none of this has been confirmed by Kensington Palace, and the claims come from royal commentators. Still, the story has struck a chord with readers who feel that Diana's legacy should be remembered with care rather than commercial gain.
