Prince William and Prince Harry Will Be "Very Upset and Angry" Over New Princess Diana Documentary Series

From Good Housekeeping

  • There is a controversial new four-part documentary being made about Princess Diana that will "focus on her inner turmoil."

  • A source shares that Prince William and Prince Harry will be "very upset and angry" about the series.

As if the royal family doesn't have enough to deal with right now (see: the fall out from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping down, Harry and Meghan's tabloid lawsuits, Princess Beatrice's fraught wedding planning, Prince Charles getting coronavirus, and everyone self-isolating apart from each other), it looks like they're about to get one more headache: An upcoming four-part documentary series claiming that Princess Diana tried to kill herself.

According to The Sun, the series, which is being called Being Me: Diana, "will tell of her mental health battles, eating disorders, unhappy marriage to Prince Charles and painful childhood." The outlet says that the show is rumored to be going to Netflix, and adds, "the series is to use unseen footage from Diana’s speeches in 1990-92 and interviews with people close to her to focus on her inner turmoil just before she and Charles officially split."

It's obvious why the royal family wouldn't be thrilled about the series, and a source shared:

The royals will refuse to take part as will the Spencer family. William and Harry will be very upset and angry. It’s particularly distressing for Harry because he’s been working with Netflix. At a time when the royals have been dealt a blow with Harry and Meghan leaving, the timing is not good.

For now, the project hasn't been completed or sold, so we're just going to have to stay tuned to see how the royal family responds and if they issue any statements about it.
