Princess Diana documentary on long list of shows Netflix could produce with Harry and Meghan as part of new deal
The Prince showed off his skills in 2024, when he was videoed at Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch in Leemore.
The latest surfing video comes after the couple announced a new deal with Netflix, which gives the streaming giant first refusal over their suggestions for new programmes.
Their original deal was worth £100 million and ran out this year.
The show would mark the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death, after she tragically died in Paris on August 31, 1997.
An industry source said: “If Harry wants to do it then Netflix will bite his hand off.”
The Prince has spoken candidly about losing his mother in the press, as well as in his autobiography Spare.
In the book, Harry also revealed he had visited a medium, who told him that “your mother is with you”.
The psychic said: “Your mother says, ‘You’re living the life she couldn’t.
“You’re living the life she wanted for you’.”
Harry gave his daughter Lilibet – named after the late Queen Elizabeth II – the middle name Diana in a reference to his mother.

This particular island holds a special place in the hearts of the Royal Family.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have been known to whisk their children away here for their summer holidays, reports the Express.

Holiday bookings have dipped sharply in one part of the world as some fear a comic book’s predictions could come true.
While speculation found in the pages of a manga comic may not sound like the kind of thing to have real-world consequences, it certainly has in one country. And that impact is set to intensify.
A recent spate of so-called earthquake-related “predictions” has led to a number of travellers in east Asia to cancel or delay their holidays, CNN Travel reports.
Fear of a “big one” in Japan has been mounting for years. The country sits on a seismic fault line and is no stranger to tremors. In fact, the country experiences around 1,500 noticeable earthquakes each year, according to the EarthScope Consortium and JRailPass.com. These earthquakes occur daily, though many are too small to be felt.

The most recent major earthquake in Japan was the 2011 Tōhoku Earthquake, which hit on March 11, 2011 with a 9.0 magnitude force. It caused a massive tsunami that claimed thousands of lives and led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.
Given that context, anxiety about a similar event seems understandable.
Particularly for those who read the work of manga artist Ryo Tatsuki, who published ‘The Future I Saw’ in 1999. It warned of a major disaster in March 2011 – a date that indeed coincided with a huge earthquake.
Four years ago Tatsuki published an updated version of the work which predicted another earthquake, this one in July 2025. At the same time, physics in the country and over in Honh Kong have begun to make similar predictions.
Seismologists find it hard enough to predict earthquakes with any real accuracy, let alone comic book artists and soothsayers. Yet the warnings are not being ignored.
CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, told CNN that bookings to Japan dropped by half during the Easter holiday. They are expected to dip further in the coming two months. Visitors from China and Hong Kong, which are Japan’s second and fourth biggest source of tourists, have dropped significantly. In Thailand and Vietnam posts online warning of earthquake danger have been gaining traction.
The impact of her latest prediction is also being felt in South Korea and Taiwan, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. It used ForwardKeys data to gauge the impact on airline bookings and found that average bookings from Hong Kong were down 50% year-on-year. Flights between late June and early July had plummeted by as much as 83%.
“We expected around 80% of the seats to be taken, but actual reservations came to only 40%,” Hiroki Ito, the general manager of the airline’s Japan office, told the Asahi Shimbun following the sharp dip in travel over Easter.
“The quake speculations are definitely having a negative impact on Japan tourism and it will slow the boom temporarily,” said Eric Zhu, Bloomberg Intelligence’s analyst for aviation and defense. “Travelers are taking a risk-adverse approach given the plethora of other short-haul options in the region.”
As a result of her late 90s predictions, Tatsuki has become a famous figure in Japan, selling 900,000 copies of that coming alone. Some claim she also forsaw the deaths of Princess Diana and singer Freddie Mercury, and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Others argue that her predictions are too vague and should not be taken seriously, especially when it comes to a subject as serious and deadly as natural disasters.
PRINCESS Diana’s former bodyguard who protected princes William and Harry has died at the age of 63.
Lee Sansum, who served as a royal military police officer, was one of Diana’s bodyguards shortly before her death in 1997, escorting her during a family holiday to the French resort of Saint Tropez that year.

The former bodyguard’s wife announced the tragic news of Lee’s death in a post on Facebook on Monday, revealing he had died of a sudden heart attack.
Sharing a compilation of pictures of the couple throughout the years, she wrote: “Since meeting in 1998, Lee Sansum has been my soul mate, hero and most amazing man in my world.
“So I’m devastated to share that he is no longer with us. He had a fatal heart attack on Saturday morning at home.
“His huge presence will be missed around the world as much as it is in our household although his capacity for love, and the life skills he has shared have left a legacy that will never be lost.
“He’s forever loved and will always be with us
“I love you more than ever ‘My Lovely Lee’.”
On top of being a bodyguard for Diana and her kids, father-of-six Lee also served as a bodyguard for the late Alex Salmond, while he was serving as First Minister of Scotland in 2014.
Lee, who held black belts in karate, jujitsu and kick-boxing, was nicknamed “Rambo” by Diana and was no stranger to the spotlight.
He also loyally protected stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Nicole Kidman, and Tom Cruise during his career.
He had been assigned to look after Diana and her young sons Prince William and Prince Harry during their stay at Al-Fayad’s 30-bedroom villa in Saint Tropez in the summer of 1997.
This was tragically just one month before Diana died in a Paris car crash, alongside Dodi.
Lee had released a book in 2022 – called The Bodyguard – in which he explored his close relationship with Diana and the young princes, particularly Harry.
He revealed how he had tried to teach the two boys kickboxing but that they were too “apprehensive” to it.

However, he managed to succeed in teaching Harry how to drive a jet ski – even helping him to soak photographers who were waiting to snap a picture of the young prince on holiday.
For his loyal and kind services on the trip, he was given a touching thank you letter by Diana.
In it, she wrote that she was grateful for the “magical ten days [which] would not have been possible without your invaluable contribution”.
The former bodyguard also revealed that Diana had turned to him for comfort, even crying on his shoulder, after her fashion designer friend Gianni Versace had been fatally shot outside his home in July 1997.
Lee, born in Burnley, Lancashire, said Diana would chat to him every day after she woke up at 7am – adding that she was worried about the safety of her own life.
He added that Diana was an “amazing woman”, saying: “She cared a great deal. She never said a bad word about anyone.”
25 years following her death, Lee also revealed how he could have been in the car with the princess on the day she died.
Speaking in a 2022 interview, he said: “It could have been me in that car.
“We drew straws to see who would be accompanying Trevor [Rees-Jones] that weekend.
“When I learned they were not wearing seatbelts in the crash I understood why they didn’t survive.
“I always insisted on it.”
Lee claimed Diana would still be alive if he had been on duty the night she died in a car crash.
The ex-Royal Military Policeman and “international security consultant” explained it was standard practice for the family to wear seatbelts – an order which had been sent down by Mohamed Al-Fayed.
When Diana, Dodi, and driver Henri Paul crashed and tragically died, none were wearing seatbelts.
Lee had begun his service as a military police officer in Northern Ireland during The Troubles.
He said: “I was looking after people in witness protection. I learnt my craft in Northern Ireland.”
After leaving the Army he started working as a civilian bodyguard, known in the industry as The Circuit.
A friend then recommended him to billionaire businessman Al-Fayed, who was so impressed by Lee that the bodyguard said he “became like family”.
