'Prince William will be absolutely furious Prince Harry is making a documentary about their mum'

'Prince William will be absolutely furious Prince Harry is making a documentary about their mum' With the Duke of Sussex reportedly in talks to produce a documentary about his late mother ahead of the 30th anniversary of her death, Russell Myers told the Mirror’s Pod Save the King podcast that Prince William will be ‘furious’ Prince Harry is believed to be in talks to produce a documentary about his late mother, Princess Diana, ahead of the 30th anniversary of her death next year. The Duke of Sussex has reportedly been exploring ways to honour his mother’s legacy three decades after her tragic passing, which will be marked in August 2027. And while the Mirror understands Harry has been reaching out to family and friends to take part in such a project, speaking on the Mirror's YouTube show Pod Save The King, the Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers believes there is one member of the Royal Family who would be ‘furious’ over the film - Prince William. Russell told Pod Save the King that Harry’s decision to create such a documentary goes ‘beyond the pale’ and questioned if the Duke ‘has the right’ to mark the poignant anniversary in such a commercial way. Myers said: “Of course it is the 30th anniversary of her tragic death next year, everybody has been trying to have their say and they will be of course next year. Archewell productions are apparently going to produce it, as they've got this sort of first look deal with Netflix. “I mean the rest of the things they've been producing haven't done too well. We had the Invictus documentary, we had the Polo documentary that absolutely bombed. And I just think this is beyond the pale for Harry to be saying ‘Well I'm going to do this now’. Russell questioned: “So, realistically, does Harry have a right to do this? I can tell you now that William will be absolutely furious about it.” Harry wants to honour Diana’s legacy “in the most meaningful way”, it is understood, and has already approached a number of her friends and relatives about taking part in a potential programme, including her brother, Earl Spencer. But Earl Spencer has revealed in his new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, that he deliberately chose to write a book rather than appear as what he described as a “talking head” in one of the many productions being planned about his sister. The Earl, whose divisive memoir was published on Tuesday, said he feared documentaries could be driven by a “flawed” agenda set by producers. Harry’s plans for a personal documentary are likely to add another layer to tensions within the Royal Family, after years of high-profile revelations about the Sussexes’ relationship with the Prince of Wales and other members of the family. A source close to Harry told the Mirror : “The Duke has discussed a number of possible projects to mark the 30th anniversary of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales ’s passing, and is still considering the most meaningful way to honour her legacy.” Nine years ago, Harry and William worked together on two documentaries about their mother to mark the 20th anniversary of her death. A joint project now appears unlikely given the deterioration in their relationship. Any documentary would be expected to be produced through Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Productions, which has a first-look deal with Netflix. Harry, meanwhile, was at a function back in the US today. He made an address about the dangers of social media and artificial intelligence for young people - but this was dramatically cut off after a technical error. Speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in New York City, the dad of two said: “It’s the same playbook that built the last crisis — only now the technology is more persuasive, more intimate and more powerful. And there is another difference this time. "Social media learned how to capture our attention. AI is learning how to enter our relationships. It doesn’t just want your attention, it wants your attachment."
