Prince William clashes with Meghan Markle over Diana tribute

Meghan Markle’s involvement in a key project on Princess Diana has left Prince William fuming, a new report has claimed.

The Prince of Wales is said to be clashing with the Duchess of Sussex over the alleged project being backed by Netflix to mark 30 years since Diana’s death.

A source told Radar Online that the future king finds the idea of revisiting his mother’s life for a show deeply upsetting, particularly with Markle taking a leading role behind the scenes.

However, Prince Harry is said to be determined to tell his mother’s story on his own terms and does not find it necessary to take permission from William.

"Harry is completely resolute about commemorating his mother and believes, very firmly, that telling her story is something he's entitled to do as her son,” an insider siad.

They added, “From his perspective, this isn't a project that requires sign-off from his brother, and he resents the idea that anyone should police how he remembers Diana.

"What has truly infuriated William, though, is the extent of Meghan's involvement. He sees her presence as crossing a deeply personal line and feels that allowing her to shape or profit from Diana's legacy amounts to a profound betrayal of his mother's memory."

Another source said that the Duke of Sussex “has long felt that the narrative around his mother has been distorted and poorly handled over the years.

“He genuinely believes that, when Diana needed protection and understanding most, the institution let her down.

"Because of that, he doesn't trust the monarchy to be the guardian of her legacy. In his view, the royal establishment forfeited any moral authority to control how she is remembered, which is why he feels so strongly that her story should be told outside of palace walls."
