Prince Harry's rumored Diana film 'might feel like another betrayal' to Prince William as rift grows: expert

Prince Harry's rumored movie about his late mother, Princess Diana, "might feel like another betrayal" to Prince William as the royal rift between the brothers grows, according to experts.

The Daily Mail pushed a report last week that Harry was returning to the U.K. to create a movie, ahead of the 30th anniversary of her death next year.

Harry and William have been estranged for years and their last public joint outing was at King Charles 's coronation in May 2023.

Fox News Digital reached out to Archewell for comment, but did not hear back.

Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube’s "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered," told Fox News Digital that Harry and Meghan Markle potentially using the tragic death of Diana for publicity would "infuriate" William.

"If Meghan were involved creatively, it would inevitably make the project more controversial because Harry has repeatedly drawn parallels between Meghan and Diana," she began.

"Those comparisons are particularly sensitive because William knew Diana in a way Meghan never could.

Meghan never met Diana.

If the documentary began using Diana’s experiences to reinforce Harry and Meghan’s existing narrative about themselves, I think that would be where it becomes too much for William." PRINCE WILLIAM LIKELY 'LIVID' OVER MEGHAN MARKLE'S 'TASTELESS' PHOTOS AT PRINCESS DIANA'S HOME: EXPERT Schofield continued, "In fact, I am hearing that The Diana Award fundraising dinner that Prince Harry was expected to attend later this month was cancelled when Prince William was notified that Meghan planned to attend and had a list of superficial 'asks' regarding her presence there.

Meghan using a Diana-related event as a PR opportunity for herself would infuriate the heir." "There is a difference between telling Diana’s story and using Diana’s story to validate your own or elevate yourself." Adding: "That is why I think watching his brother commercialize their mother almost 30 years after her death could feel vulgar to Prince William and might feel like another betrayal." Christopher Andersen, author of "Kate!", pointed out that William and Harry previously collaborated on a documentary about their late mother in 2017.

"But obviously, a lot has happened since then, and the brothers aren't speaking, much less partnering on a project," he said.

"'Diana, The Unheard Truth' is a three-part documentary based on never-before-released tapes, and William sees it as a posthumous invasion of their mother's privacy.

How could it not be?" Andersen said that what we have heard from Diana is heartbreaking enough, and the uncertainty of what she could say on unreleased tapes could potentially embarrass the royal family.
