Diana Documentary Faces Royal Resistance
27 Sep
Summary
- Diana's sisters declined to participate in the documentary project.
- Palace members are wary of consequences for cooperating.
- Earl Spencer is hesitant to be a 'talking head' in documentaries.
A documentary project spearheaded by Prince Harry focusing on his mother, Princess Diana, has reportedly met with considerable resistance from within the royal circle. Sources indicate that Diana's sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, have declined to contribute to the film, a sentiment echoed by other palace insiders. This reluctance stems from a perceived fear of negative consequences, with suggestions that cooperation could lead to a "slamming shut" of palace doors.
Prince Harry has reportedly been in discussions with Charles, Earl Spencer, Diana's brother, to secure his participation. However, Earl Spencer has previously expressed a disinclination towards being a mere "talking head" in programs about his sister, as noted in his recent book. While Harry is considering meaningful ways to honor his mother's legacy, particularly around the 30th anniversary of her passing, the extent of royal family support remains unclear, with Prince William having made no public comment on the matter.
