According to royal commentator Samara Gill, if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are behind a docuseries or movie about Princess Diana, they run the risk of making the project all about themselves. “Diana’s story is a very sensitive and coveted story to tell and I think Harry and Meghan will absolutely butcher it with their own lens,” she said. “I really think that it could be a potential disaster because they will tell their side.”
While nothing has been confirmed, many have speculated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will capitalize on Princess Diana’s life and untimely death to sweeten their continued deal with Netflix. “I think Netflix will bite his arm off for this one,” journalist Phil Dampier said. “It would be very interesting to get his take on his mother. I can see him doing this. I think, A, it would be a massive money spinner, and, B, Harry will probably treat it as some sort of therapy.”
Despite the potential project being a way for Prince Harry to honor Princess Diana, the idea may not sit well with his estranged brother, Prince William, or their father, King Charles III. “It won’t go down very well with the king or with Prince William,” Phil Dampier pointed out. “I think they’ll be absolutely horrified and [the] Prince of Wales will particularly think that his mother’s being exploited when he wants to sort of leave that all behind him.”
