Prince Harry is reportedly trying to get his uncle, Earl Spencer, on board for a rumored Princess Diana documentary, and a royal journalist says the motivation might not be as sentimental as it sounds. Tom Sykes told Page Six that Spencer would give the project instant credibility, which is exactly why the Sussexes would want him involved. The Telegraph previously reported that Harry was approached by Spencer and Diana’s friends about a film marking 30 years since her death in 2027.
The twist? Sykes suspects money, not a deep emotional bond, is behind Harry’s apparent closeness to the Spencer side of the family. He also claims Harry would position himself as the true inheritor of Diana’s legacy. Add in the fact that Earl Spencer wrote a memoir,“Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,”which reportedly makes claims about King Charles’s treatment of Diana, and this project suddenly looks less like a tribute and more like a statement.
Nothing has been confirmed. No production deal, no streaming buyer, no release date. But the rumor alone has royal fans debating whether Harry is honoring his mother or monetizing her memory. What do you think? Is this a heartfelt tribute or a calculated business move? Drop your take in the comments.
