Prince Harry could set off a new family feud if he makes a film about
Princess Diana. After rumors swirled about the Duke of Sussex and his wife,
Meghan Markle, possibly producing a documentary about his late mother as a part of their continued deal with Netflix, one royal expert claimed the move may cause "enormous danger" by driving him even farther apart from his relatives.

Despite much speculation that
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were parting ways with Netflix, the couple signed a less desirable first-look deal with the streaming service. Now, some are saying the duo wants to honor Princess Diana with a documentary set to premiere on the 30th anniversary of her death. "
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's contract with Netflix has been renewed in a downgraded form, which will give Netflix first option on what they produce," royal expert
Richard Fitzwilliams explained. "Netflix's Chief of Content,
Bella Bajaria, has recently praised the enormous success of their highly controversial six-part docuseries
Harry and Meghan. They want something royal from the couple whose royal links are their only claim to fame."

Richard Fitzwilliams claimed
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could cause more turmoil with the royal family if they move forward with the Princess Diana project. "If the proposed documentary featured anything controversial, it would gravely endanger the reconciliation Harry has said he wants with his family, although it would undoubtedly draw the audience Netflix wants," he said. "If reconciliation is desirable, but seems unlikely, peace is essential. [The documentary], if it happens, could restart the conflict."

Richard Fitzwilliams believes that a film by
Prince Harry on the life of Princess Diana is better left alone given the new dynamics within the royal family that are currently at play — specifically
King Charles III marrying
Queen Camilla and her subsequent rise in popularity. "This program, especially now that Camilla, the woman [Princess Diana] regarded as her rival, is now queen consort, also, potentially, has enormous dangers for Harry's future relationships with his family," the public relations consultant said.

Although there may be risks, Richard Fitzwilliams knows why
Prince Harry would want to tell Princess Diana's story. "We know from his memoir
Spare how deep his affection for his mother was and how devastated he was at her passing," he said, adding that Harry's desire to make a documentary about his mother is "obviously totally understandable." Continued the PR expert, "Diana was like a meteor. She was the world's most glamorous woman, whose charitable activities have rightly become legendary, but who was also manipulative and had a fatefully symbiotic relationship with the media. The War of the Waleses, between her and King Charles, which ended in divorce, was ferocious at the time."
