William proves he's the better man as Harry plans Diana film

The Prince of Wales has reportedly turned down several offers to take part in documentary projects about his late mother, Princess Diana, as the 30th anniversary of her death approaches. Sources have claimed that Prince Harry is set to honour Diana's legacy in a new documentary programme.

Harry considering 'most meaningful way' to honour Diana

Speaking to The Mirror, a source said: "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."

Any documentary is expected to be produced through Archewell Productions, which Harry established with his wife Meghan, and which has a first-look deal with Netflix. Money raised from such a documentary, unless Harry decides to donate it to charity, would go straight into his own pockets, according to the article.

William taking a step back

William, meanwhile, is taking a step back and refusing to take part without making a fuss or publicly denouncing his brother. His friends have said the 30th anniversary of his mother's death is "really emotional" for him.

The article suggests Harry could have gone to the BBC or approached another production company entirely, but has not. It also notes that Harry could make as respectful a documentary as he wants and would still draw the ire of the masses who have already made up their minds about the Duke of Sussex. Diana's legacy will be soured by the public impression of Harry as a money-grabbing ex-Royal, no matter what the actual truth is, the piece argues.
