Prince Harry has been vocal over the last year about wanting reconciliation with his royal relatives, with some of the relationships he had having fractured since he quit royal life in 2020. In May, the Duke of Sussex, 40, told the BBC in an interview that he wanted to stop arguing with his relatives and reconcile with them, especially with his father King Charles.
However, while it is Harry’s desire to make amends with his relatives, one royal expert believes that the duke could make one move that could “restart conflict”. This week, it was widely reported that the prince and his wife Meghan Markle, 44, could be looking at producing a Princess Diana documentary to be released in 2027 to mark 30 years since her tragic death in a car crash in Paris.

The documentary, which has reportedly only been discussed at this stage, could be offered to Netflix as part of the couple’s “first look” deal with the streaming giant.

An industry source reportedly told The Sun: “If Harry wants to do it then Netflix will bite his hand off.”
However, if Harry were to do this, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams believes it could cause conflict between the duke and his royal relatives, and could “endanger” any chances of reconciliation.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Fitzwilliams said: “If the proposed documentary featured anything controversial, it would gravely endanger the reconciliation Harry has said he wants with his family, although it would undoubtedly draw the audience Netflix wants.
“This programme, especially now that Camilla, the woman she (Diana) regarded as her rival, is now Queen Consort, also, potentially, has enormous dangers for Harry’s future relationships with his family.”

Fitzwilliams continued: “If reconciliation is desirable, but seems unlikely, peace is essential. This documentary, if it happens, could restart conflict.”
The documentary is believed to have only been discussed at this stage, and is not guaranteed.

If it goes ahead, it will not be the first time Harry has addressed Princess Diana’s death both in previous documentaries and in writing.
Writing in his 2023 memoir Spare, Harry reflected openly about how losing his mother when he was just 12 affected him. He also discussed his final phone call with Diana.
He wrote: “She'd called early in the evening, the night of the crash, but I was running around with Willy and my cousins and didn't want to stop playing, so I'd been short with her. Impatient to get back to my games. I wished I'd searched for the words to describe how much I loved her.”
