Prince Harry has faced accusations of “selling secrets” after reports suggested he is considering a documentary about his late mother, Princess Diana. Royal commentator Carole Malone made the claim while discussing Harry’s reported plans to mark the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death.
Expert criticizes Prince Harry’s potential Diana film tribute with brutal swipe
Harry has reportedly begun contacting people who knew Diana as he explores ways to commemorate her life and legacy. Reports suggest the Duke of Sussex could produce a documentary ahead of the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death next year.
However, Malone strongly criticized the idea during the first episode of the Daily Express’ Royals Unscripted. Malone claimed Harry was “100% monetising” his mother’s death.
She added, “This is all Harry can do. He can only sell secrets and stories about his family. He has no career as such. He did his military service, and from all the reports, he did very well in that, but that was a long time ago. That’s over, and he has nothing else to do now.”
She argued that Harry’s public work now focuses mostly on his family and their private experiences. She also questioned what other career options he has. The commentator said Harry did well during his military service, but noted that period of his life ended years ago. She then claimed that Harry’s current opportunities mainly involve sharing stories and details about his family.
Malone also questioned whether audiences need another project about Diana nearly three decades after her death. Diana died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997. Since then, countless documentaries, books, and television programs have examined her life, marriage, humanitarian work, and relationship with the Royal Family.
Malone argued that Diana’s story has already received extensive coverage. She also cited online reactions to the latest reports and claimed that some people had called Harry and Meghan “grifters” for returning to the same pattern of public storytelling.
