Prince William is reportedly preparing to take a drastic step against his younger brother Prince Harry in a move that could reopen one of the deepest wounds within the royal family. Fresh claims suggest the Prince of Wales is considering legal action over a highly sensitive issue tied to their late mother Princess Diana, setting the stage for another explosive chapter in the brothers’ long running feud.
According to new reports, Prince Harry is said to be keen on producing a documentary about Princess Diana to mark the thirtieth anniversary of her death. The project is allegedly being discussed as part of the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle’s multimillion dollar Netflix deal, with the aim of revisiting Diana’s life legacy and tragic end.
Sources claim the proposed documentary would focus on how Diana was treated by the media the royal institution and the lasting emotional impact her death had on her two sons. For Harry, this is believed to be a deeply personal tribute rather than a commercial venture, one he feels morally entitled to pursue.
However, this plan is reportedly causing serious alarm for Prince William, who is said to be firmly opposed to the idea. Insiders allege that William sees the project as crossing a line and reopening painful memories that he would rather keep private.
A source told Radar that Harry feels commemorating his mother is his inherent right as her son and that he does not require approval from anyone including his elder brother. The insider added that Harry believes Diana’s memory does not belong to the royal institution and should not be controlled by palace sensitivities.
On the other side of the divide, William reportedly views the situation very differently. The future king is said to be deeply uncomfortable with the idea of Diana’s life and death being turned into content for a streaming platform especially one linked to ongoing tensions with the monarchy.
William’s objections are also said to stem from long standing frustrations with how the royal family has been portrayed in popular media. He is believed to have harbored resentment toward The Crown, feeling that the series distorted private family pain for public consumption.
For William, Harry’s alleged documentary plans feel like reopening a fight he thought had already been settled. The brothers have been estranged for years and relations worsened dramatically following Harry’s memoir Spare and the Netflix series featuring Harry and Meghan.

The potential legal angle has shocked royal watchers. While it remains unclear what form any legal action might take, the very idea that William could attempt to block Harry’s tribute underscores just how fractured their relationship has become.
Royal commentators suggest this dispute is not just about Diana but about control narrative and legacy. William as heir to the throne is focused on protecting the dignity of the monarchy while Harry continues to challenge the institution he believes failed both his mother and his family.
The situation also places King Charles in an awkward position. As father to both men and Diana’s former husband, the King has already endured years of public family turmoil and may be reluctant to see another battle play out in the courts.
Public reaction has been divided. Some sympathise with Harry’s desire to honour his mother on such a significant anniversary believing Diana’s story still holds lessons about media pressure and royal life. Others side with William arguing that private grief should not be repackaged decades later.
If Harry does move forward with the documentary without William’s blessing it could permanently damage any remaining hope of reconciliation. Observers note that Diana’s memory has often been the one thing that united the brothers and seeing it become a source of conflict is particularly tragic.
As speculation intensifies the palace has remained silent offering no confirmation or denial of the reported legal plans. Yet the mere possibility of a courtroom clash between the sons of Princess Diana has once again thrust the royal family into unwanted controversy.
Whether Prince William truly attempts to block the project or Prince Harry pushes ahead regardless one thing is clear. The battle over Diana’s legacy is far from over and could become one of the most emotionally charged royal disputes in years.
