Prince William's meeting with BBC Director-General Matt Brittin comes as attention turns to possible projects marking Princess Diana's 30th death anniversary in 2027.
LONDON — September 27, 2026 — Prince William held a meeting with BBC Director-General Matt Brittin at Kensington Palace this week, as renewed reports focus on separate projects Prince William and Prince Harry could pursue to mark the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death in 2027.
The meeting between William and Brittin on September 24 is confirmed by the Royal Family’s official Court Circular, which records that the Prince of Wales received the BBC chief at Kensington Palace. However, the official record does not give details of what they discussed.
The timing has attracted attention because reports have emerged that Harry is considering several ways to commemorate his mother, including a possible documentary about Diana. PEOPLE reported this week that Harry has been exploring different projects ahead of the August 31, 2027, anniversary and has contacted family members and friends connected to his late mother. The publication stressed that no documentary has been finalized or confirmed.
Key points
Prince William met BBC Director-General Matt Brittin at Kensington Palace on September 24.
The meeting is confirmed in the official Royal Family Court Circular, but its subject has not been publicly disclosed.
Prince Harry is considering several projects to mark 30 years since Diana’s death, with a documentary among the ideas reportedly under discussion.
Any suggestion that William’s BBC meeting was specifically about a Diana documentary remains unconfirmed.
William and Harry previously appeared together in the 2017 BBC documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy.
The possibility of separate Diana projects is particularly notable because the brothers previously joined forces to remember their mother in 2017, ahead of the 20th anniversary of her death. Nearly a decade later, their relationship remains strained, making another joint television project a different prospect.
Diana died in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997, aged 36. Her sons were 15 and 12 at the time. The approaching 30th anniversary is already bringing renewed attention to her life and legacy, including a new memoir by her brother Charles Spencer. Reuters and the Associated Press have both reported on the renewed focus surrounding Spencer’s book and the royal family’s response to some of its claims.
For now, the clearest distinction is between what is known and what is being reported: William definitely met Brittin, while the nature of that discussion remains private; Harry is considering a number of Diana-related projects, but no documentary has been officially confirmed.
