Prince William has reportedly ruled out taking part in a documentary about his late mother, Princess Diana, amid speculation that he could reunite with his younger brother, Prince Harry, for an emotional tribute.
The royal brothers are expected to face a significant and potentially emotional moment in 2027, which will mark the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death.
Recent reports have suggested that Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is working with Netflix on a documentary intended to honour his mother’s legacy.
According to the reports, Harry has been reaching out to members of the royal family and close friends of Diana as part of the project.
William reportedly rejects documentary offers
The speculation about a possible reunion has reportedly been dismissed by a source close to William.
According to The Times, the future king does not plan to make a film about Diana and has also declined several offers to participate in or appear in documentary tributes marking the anniversary.
The report said William’s decision is partly linked to his desire to avoid a situation in which he and Harry could once again be portrayed in opposition to each other.
The brothers’ strained relationship has remained a subject of public attention since Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from their roles as senior working royals and later moved to the United States.

William expected to mark anniversary privately
William is reportedly preparing to commemorate the anniversary privately rather than through a joint public appearance or documentary project.
The Prince of Wales, who is the father of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, is expected to face what reports describe as a particularly difficult and emotional day.
Diana died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, at the age of 36. Her death had a profound impact on her two sons, who were 15 and 12 at the time.
While speculation over a possible reunion between William and Harry continues, reports indicate that William does not intend to participate in the proposed documentary and is instead expected to observe the anniversary away from the spotlight.
