Prince Harry is considering a television project about Diana and has reportedly been speaking with people who knew her.
Royal commentator Richard Kay has claimed that the proposed project could occupy much of Harry’s attention over the coming year, while William is reportedly unhappy about the way his brother is approaching their mother’s legacy.
The situation has prompted some commentators to suggest that William may feel Diana’s memory should not become the property of any one member of the family. However, there is no confirmed public statement from William saying “Diana’s night, not hers!” The dramatic phrase appears to be a sensational interpretation rather than a verified quotation.
Diana’s legacy remains deeply important to both brothers. William and Harry previously worked together on the 2017 documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, when their relationship was considerably closer.
Recent events have added another emotional layer. William and Catherine accompanied Prince George to Eton College on September 8, echoing the moment Diana and then-Prince Charles accompanied William to the same school in 1995. The visual parallel has naturally revived memories of Diana and her role in William’s childhood.
