Prince Harry appeared to have sparked a new war with his estranged brother Prince William, especially as he had tried to mend ties with his father, King Charles.
The Duke of Sussex, who is currently fighting a legal battle alongside six high-profile complainants against the Daily Mail publisher, is also taking steps to honor the memory of his late mother, Princess Diana.
Harry’s track record of publishing documentaries and books has not given him positive results, especially regarding the relationships he has with his family. His Netflix docuseries with Meghan and his bombshell memoir had kept him separated from his father in a years-long feud.
Now that father and son have warmed to each other, Harry and Meghan are now planning a documentary about the fatal crash that killed Diana after renewing their multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix last year. This drives William furious, sources reveal to Closer.
“Harry is determined to honor his mother and share her story. He sees no reason why he should involve his brother in it,” an insider said.
“What really sends William over the edge is how involved Meghan is,” they continued. “William does not want her anywhere near his mother’s story. He is sickened that Harry, and by extension Meghan, would dare to disrespect his mother and take advantage of her memory.”
William and Harry’s mother died in August 1997 from injuries sustained in a tragic car accident in Paris.
The sources have noted that the future king is “very clear” in his stance and is ready to “put up all the roadblocks he can” if Harry goes ahead with the plan. William will not shy away from laying down a “legal red tape” or even “calling in favors from high places to shut it down”.
They stressed that the Prince of Wales is “on the warpath against this”. The source added: “For him this is the ultimate grief and he is not about to stand by and let his mother be taken advantage of in the death of her own son.”
