Thanks for the new thread, just catching up

NC (hope that's not rude), enjoyed previous threads.

I don't think William would be that bothered by Harry doing something about their mother, though. The entire world talks about their mother endlessly, so I'm not sure it would bother William if her other son did something about his mother

I don't pretend to know either way, @BunnyBunbunbun, but William certainly minded when others (Burrell, the BBC ...) used his mother to make a quick buck

Of course we've no idea if "Harry to make a documentary" is just more clickbait, but I can't exactly see the suggestion encouraging William to embrace him once again

I think William realises H will do as he pleases as he has made his peace with it

It would be great if the five hours of tapes includes her whining about Harry "He keeps asking for sausages ".

Is Charlotte G in the Sussex WhatsApp group? 😁.

Also, after watching that Palace Confidential, I have lost all respect for Richard Kay. William should stay away from HAM.

Yeah. She was, and people like Tom Sykes (and the Richards) who are playing weird games.

Richard Eden said publicly that he wasn't in the Sussex WhatsApp group.

There might be heaps of coverage, but are there takers?

I very clearly remember the Diana years. I’m probably their target demographic and I’m not interested.

If there's heaps of coverage, then of course there are takers, otherwise at some point the coverage would peter out.

It's interesting that people who are into the royal family and discussing Harry and Meghan and various newspaper stories about them have no interest in Diana.

Burrell and the BBC are not quite the same as Diana's own son. Harry was annoyed then too. Perhaps William might be a bit miffed - hypothetically speaking, if Harry were hypothetically making a documentary about Diana - but I can't see him being "incandescent".

I can see W being incandescent if H uses clips from the Martin Bashir documentary or other private photos/clips that not previously been released. W wants his Mum to rest in peace not to be used again and again to make ££££.

Lol, there isn't even a documentary yet (it's still just one of the infinite stories that the media like to run with - except they knew nothing about the real story of Harry and Meghan's return) and now Harry is putting Martin Bashir in it!

Considering Harry also condemned Martin Bashir, if he were to include anything about Bashir then it would doubtless be highly critical of him. Perhaps William might be ok with Harry criticising Bashir.

In any case, this is all very hypothetical because no such documentary is confirmed. It's a bit like Meghan's UK acting role.

I'm catching up and riffing back to the late posts on the last thread referring to The Bench reminded me of the rip off claims although I don't think they went anywhere much like the tome itself.

I do have to say though that I enjoyed seeing the mountain of unsold copies repurposed to support and ease lap-top viewing.

So sustainable 🍃

No surprise there. It all makes sense. His latching onto CS, kids clutch flowers on way to worship at the grave of a grandmother they never met

May I ask, what do you find interesting about it? There’s little to compare between the life and death of a princess thirty years ago and the present day manoeuvres of a pair of grifters in victim mode.

CathyorClaire · 04/09/2026 21:12

I'm now picturing five hours of unaired material covering anything from colonic irrigation to intriguing variations of other holistic woo.

Quids in for Harold and a sleep remedy for 'most everyone else.

From memory didn’t H&Ms Netflix series use clips from the Martin Bashir interview? Happy to be corrected.

Time moves on. Diana is firmly in the past. People may know of her - was married to Charles. They got divorced . There was a great deal of animosity . Diana died . Charles married Camilla . It's been a long long time. It was a shock at the time but nowadays - who really cares? People are so preoccupied with their own lives.

Netflix didn't ask permission from the BBC.

Her hay day was 50 years ago. She’s not topical or current. She’s an historical figure. It would be like expecting the general public who were following the RF in the 1980s in the tabloids to be interested in a royal figure from the 1930s who had been dead since the 50s. It’s two totally different dynamics - one current day to day RL changing soap opera gossip in contemporary society and the other a historical review of someone from a very distant time / past and place.

W had said he never wanted the interview to be shown again, and I believe the BBC agreed. H including it in the Netflix documentary was a fundamental breach of trust and I can imagine him doing it again if he makes a documentary about Diana.

That's an awful thing to do.

The Sussex Squad have a whole thing that William is 'silencing' Diana by not wanting the interview to be shown again.

Fifty years ago she was only about fifteen!

She’s been dead thirty years.
