A documentary about the late Princess Diana is said to be on a lengthy list of potential shows that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could work on with Netflix. The speculation comes following an update on their partnership this month.
It was announced just last week that Archewell Productions, the production company founded by Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan, 44, had extended its creative partnership with the streaming platform. It was revealed that there’s a “multi-year, first look deal for all its film and television projects”.
Several upcoming projects were confirmed at the time, like an adaptation of a romance novel and a documentary short. It was additionally teased that Archewell Productions is “in active development on additional projects” with Netflix.

According to the Sun, the possibility of Prince Harry being involved in future content about Princess Diana has been discussed. The outlet suggests that the potential project would mark 30 years since his late mother’s death in 1997.
It reports that Prince Harry is considering a documentary on Princess Diana to coincide with the 30th anniversary of her death, which will be in 2027. A source said: “If Harry wants to do it then Netflix will bite his hand off.”
There’s speculation that he could work on a project about her elsewhere too. The Sun reports that it understands that Prince Harry could also “feature or contribute” to a project about Princess Diana away from Netflix.
Archewell Productions first collaborated with Netflix in 2020. Since then, the production company and the streaming platform have released content together like the docuseries Harry & Meghan, which came out in 2022.

Megan recently expressed pride over the news that the couple’s production company, which they founded in 2020, had extended its partnership with Netflix. She spoke about the relationship in a statement issued earlier this month.
She said: “We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand. My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.”
Netflix’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria said: “Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself – Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series.
“More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As ever line consistently selling out in record time. We’re excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.”
It was revealed that upcoming projects include the second season of With Love, Meghan. The first season, which had eight episodes and launched earlier this year, saw Megan share cooking, gardening and hosting tips. The new season is set to debut on Netflix next Tuesday on August 26.
