Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been setting up their life again in the UK following their recent return. Royal fans have speculated as to why the Sussexes have decided to take up a home in Britain once more, but now, the real reason could have been revealed.
Speaking on Talk TV, Charlotte Griffiths, Mail on Sunday editor-at-large, says the couple are returning for a new Netflix deal in which Prince Harry could make a documentary about his mother, Princess Diana. She says: “It does explain, at long last, why they have come over to the UK. We have all been wondering and thinking it – it can’t just be the education of their kids, it can’t just be the King – there’s always with the Sussexes.”
She adds: “So this would make a lot of sense.”
On August 31, 1997, Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris. She was in the vehicle with her then-partner, Dodi Fayed.
Dodi and the driver died instantly, while Diana, who was 36, was pronounced dead hours later.
Next August, in 2027, will mark the 30-year anniversary of the tragic incident.
Prince Harry wants to honour Diana’s legacy, “in the most meaningful way”, it is understood, and has reportedly already approached a number of her friends and relatives about taking part in a potential programme, including her brother, Earl Spencer.
But Earl Spencer has revealed in his new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, that he deliberately chose to write a book rather than appear as what he described as a “talking head” in one of the many productions being planned about his sister.
The Earl said he feared documentaries could be driven by a “flawed” agenda set by producers.
The Mirror reports that Harry’s plans for a personal documentary are likely to add another layer to tensions within the Royal Family.
The documentary has been the subject of speculation. People Magazine reports that no documentary project has yet been finalised or confirmed.
