Prince Harry is developing a television documentary about Princess Diana, aimed for a 2027 release to coincide with the 30th anniversary of her death. The Duke of Sussex has reportedly begun contacting individuals from Diana’s close circle to gather personal memories and testimonies.

Meghan Markle is expected to serve as the narrator for the film. The couple is reportedly working together on the project, drawing parallels between Diana’s experiences with the press and the palace and their own.

The initiative is expected to increase tensions between Prince Harry and Prince William. Reports suggest William may be uncomfortable with Harry’s role as a guardian of the Diana legacy and may find Meghan’s involvement as the primary voice of the story difficult.
