William and Catherine to avoid Diana memoir row and 2027 documentary
Prince William and Catherine are said to have decided not to comment publicly on Earl Spencer’s disputed memoir about Diana, or take part in a documentary marking 30 years since her death in 2027. A source close to the couple said they would keep their focus on royal and charitable work, while William also wants to avoid being set against his estranged brother, Prince Harry.
Harry is understood to have approached Diana’s friends and relatives about a commemorative film, while William has received several programme offers and met BBC director-general Tim Davie privately. Earl Spencer continues to promote his book and has repeated a claim about King Charles’s remarks after Diana’s death; Buckingham Palace said grief may have affected Spencer’s recollection, and Kensington Palace declined to comment. William and Harry appeared together in a 2017 documentary about their mother.
