Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in conversations to produce Princess Diana documentary for Netflix: Report

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly in early discussions to produce a documentary about Princess Diana, which was the 30th anniversary of her death in 2027. The project would form part of their renewed agreement with Netflix, which was signed earlier this month, and it could so far be one of their most personal and highest productions. According to The Sun, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex presented several ideas to Netflix, and a program centered on Diana’s life and legacy was seriously considered. A source told the newspaper: ‘If Harry wants to do it, Netflix will bite his hand. ‘The production company of the couple, Archewell Productions, would lead the project, with Netflix holding first rights to any content they develop under the new agreement. The current platform will also finance the productions. How did Princess Diana die? Princess Diana, Harry’s mother, died tragically in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997. Her death shocked the world and had a lasting impact on the royal family – especially on her sons, Princes William and Harry, who were only 15 and 12 years old at the time. Diana was known worldwide for her humanitarian work, her openness with the public, and her sometimes tense relationship with the royal business. Prince Harry talked openly about his mother in previous interviews, including in his memoir ‘Spare’ in 2023, where he described the deep emotional toll of her death and how it formed his adult life. In a previous documentary that was the 20th anniversary of her death, Harry described her as “the best mother in the world” and expressed his desire to keep her memory alive through charity work and storytelling. Harry and Meghan’s Netflix agreement with the potential Diana project, the couple continues with their creative partnership with Netflix. A second season of Meghan’s Lifestyle Show ‘With Love, Meghan’, will be launched on August 26, with a special holiday broadcast later in December. They are also involved in ‘Masaka Kids: A Rhythm Within’, a short documentary about orphans in Uganda, which shows the power of dance and resilience in the face of hardship. Since retiring as senior working royalty in 2020, Harry and Meghan have built a media presence focused on personal stories, mental health and social issues. Netflix has not yet officially confirmed the project.
