Prince William turns down Diana documentary offers to avoid clashing with brother

Prince William has refused multiple proposals to appear in a film about Princess Diana, aiming to prevent a rivalry with Prince Harry ahead of the 30th anniversary of her death.

With the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing looming, Prince William has reportedly rejected a series of offers to take part in new documentaries honoring his mother. The Prince of Wales, who was fifteen when Diana died, appears to be steering clear of any collaboration that could place him opposite his estranged brother, Prince Harry, who is said to be in talks with Archewell Productions and Netflix to produce his own film.

William’s earlier involvement in a 2017 documentary with Harry for the 20th anniversary is described by insiders as his last public homage. Close contacts say the upcoming milestone is emotionally taxing for William, who remains deeply affected by his mother’s death. They also suggest that any new project without Harry’s involvement could widen the existing family rift, contrary to what Diana might have wanted.

Why it matters

The decision highlights ongoing tensions within the British royal family as they navigate public commemorations of Diana’s legacy.
