Prince William will not appear in a TV documentary to mark the 30th anniversary of his late mother Princess Diana’s death.
According to royal sources, the 44-year-old wants to avoid a situation where he and his estranged brother, Harry, are ‘pitted against each other’.
The Prince of Wales, who was 15 when his mother died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997, had been carefully considering whether to take part in any programmes.
He received several offers to make or appear in a documentary and even held private talks at Kensington Palace last week with BBC director-general Matt Brittin.
But the heir to the throne is understood to have decided against appearing in anything on screen to avoid any further conflict with his estranged brother Prince Harry.
William does not want him and Harry to be ‘pitted against each other’ in a film and remains ‘really emotional’ about Diana’s death, reported The Sunday Times.
It comes after the brothers appeared together on the 20th anniversary of her death in 2017 in the ITV documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life And Legacy.
Speaking at the time before a preview at Kensington Palace – where both were living – William said that the brothers ‘won’t speak as openly or publicly about her again’.
