Prince Harry faced with dilemma as Netflix move would spark ‘huge conflict’ with William | Royal | News

A royal commentator has claimed that Prince Harry could spark a new “massive conflict” with his estranged brother Prince William if he made delivered a project for Netflix. The Duke of Sussex’s relationship with the Prince of Wales has gone frosty following his sensational exit from the Firm almost five years ago.

Harry and William do not make any joint appearances anymore, and even when they have to attend joint engagements, like the Diana Award, they appear separately and at different times. The duke has delivered a number of projects for Netflix since quitting the working Royal Family, including his bombshell docuseries with Meghan Markle, Harry & Meghan, and other projects related to causes close to his heart like Live to Lead, Heart of Invictus and Polo. Now, the Daily Mail‘s royal editor, Rebecca English, suggested that if Harry were to make a Netflix show about his late mother, it could spark a massive row with his brother.

Speaking on the Palace Confidential podcast, she said: “I think if he was to do it [make a show about Princess Diana], it would bring him into massive conflict with his brother. Because although Harry and William together co-operated [on] I think two documentaries about their mother over the years to mark particular landmarks.”

Ms English added: “I know Prince William has made a point of saying ‘Look, it really is time to let my mother’s memory rest in peace now’. He’s made that very very clear, I mean apart from joint charitable initiatives like the Diana Awards which I think are very positive ones, they very much want to park that side of their mother’s life.”

It comes as the Duke recently resigned from an African charity he co-founded in 2006 in memory of his late mother.

The Duke of Sussex announced the move in a joint statement with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, the other founder of Sentebale.

The princes were patrons of the organisation and weren’t on the board of trustees.

They said they were quitting in support of the trustees, who left after a dispute with chairperson Sophie Chandauka.

Their joint statement read: “These trustees acted in the best interest of the charity in asking the chair to step down, while keeping the wellbeing of staff in mind. In turn, she sued the charity to remain in this voluntary position, further underscoring the broken relationship.

“We thank all the trustees for their service over the years and are truly heartbroken they’ve had to follow through with this act.

“What’s transpired is unthinkable. We are in shock that we have to do this, but we have a continued responsibility to Sentebale’s beneficiaries, so we will be sharing all of our concerns with the Charity Commission as to how this came about.

“Although we may no longer be patrons, we will always be its founders, and we will never forget what this charity is capable of achieving when it is in the right care.”

A spokesman for Sentebale said it had carried out a “restructuring” of its board as “confirmation of its strategy to redeploy senior roles to be proximate to most of the team and programmes in southern Africa”.
