Prince William reportedly cannot stand comparisons casting Meghan Markle as a modern Princess Diana amid renewed film speculation. The Prince of Wales is reportedly angered by Prince Harry’s possible Diana anniversary project.

A new source claimed the Sussexes were “dragging Diana into their moneymaking endeavors.” William reportedly considered that “a new low.” The reported film remains unconfirmed by the Sussexes and Netflix. The dispute also revived older tension over how both brothers publicly handle their late mother’s legacy.

As per a RadarOnline report, a source claimed the reported project had further angered the Waleses. “The Waleses are furious,” the insider said, accusing Harry and Meghan of “looking to capitalize on their association with the royal family.” The source also alleged that the couple were “dragging Diana into their moneymaking endeavors.” However, the reported film has not been confirmed by Harry, Meghan, or Netflix.

Meanwhile, Harry previously compared his wife directly with his late mother. In the 2022 series “Harry & Meghan,” he said, “So much of what Meghan is” resembled Diana. He specifically cited her “compassion,” “empathy,” “confidence” and “warmth.” However, the new source claimed Prince William “can’t stand the narrative” surrounding those comparisons. The insider specifically rejected Meghan Markle being presented as “somehow this Diana 2.0.” According to the report, that framing added another layer to William’s concerns about the proposed project.

For context, William and Harry previously appeared together in the 2017 documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, which marked the 20th anniversary of their mother’s death. William later indicated that he did not expect to revisit the subject publicly in the same way. Meanwhile, RadarOnline claimed Harry views honoring Diana as his “duty,” while a source alleged that William fears another project could reveal “even more secrets about the royal family.” Another insider described the situation as “crossing a line that can’t be uncrossed.”
