Prince Harry is weighing up several potential projects, such as a documentary about his late mother, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana's death in August next year, it is being reported.

The Duke of Sussex, 42, has been reaching out to friends and family members connected to Diana as he explores how best to honour her memory ahead of the milestone.


The duke declined to address questions about his family as he arrived at the ceremony, which recognises children living with serious medical conditions and those who care for them.

Any such documentary would be produced through the Sussexes' Archewell Productions company, which holds a first-look agreement with Netflix for its film and television output.

Harry is said to have already contacted a number of Diana's friends and relatives, including Earl Spencer, to gauge their willingness to participate in a potential film.

A source close to the duke told The Telegraph: "The duke has discussed a number of possible projects to mark the 30th anniversary of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales's passing.

"Nothing has been finalised or confirmed, and he is still considering the most meaningful way to honour her legacy during this important anniversary year."

Kensington Palace has offered no comment on how Prince William might mark the occasion.

The prospect of Harry producing his own tribute to Diana would have been unthinkable a decade ago, when the brothers collaborated on the 2017 documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy for the 20th anniversary.

Their relationship has since fractured beyond repair, making any joint commemoration all but impossible.

With such a significant anniversary on the horizon, some had speculated the brothers "could reunite" as The Diana Award - of which they are both patrons - orchestrates a series of events.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams previously told GB News it is "of course a possibility" that the brothers could be reunited, noting that both Harry and William unveiled the Diana statue in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace five years ago - though much has changed since then.

His deliberations come amid a bitter public row between Earl Charles Spencer and Buckingham Palace over the Earl's forthcoming memoir about his sister.

His book, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, is being published on Tuesday and has already ignited a furious exchange with the Palace.

The 62-year-old Earl alleges that the then-Prince of Wales told him in the days following Diana's death: "Rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough," speaking in what Spencer describes as a "giddy tone," akin to a "lottery winner."

Buckingham Palace took the unusual step of issuing a direct rebuttal, with a spokesman saying the King was "mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgement and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss."

The Earl hit back, accusing the King of "gaslighting" him and calling the Palace statement "astonishingly provocative."

He also said he had turned down "endless, repeated" invitations to contribute to documentaries about Diana, including approaches from her biographer Andrew Morton and Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair's former communications chief.

Neither Prince William nor Prince Harry received advance warning of what the memoir contained. The Earl's sisters, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes, are likewise not thought to have been consulted.
