## Diana's 30th anniversary
It’s been nearly 30 years since Princess Diana’s death, but with Charles Spencer’s memoir and reports that Prince Harry is in talks to make a documentary about his mother’s life, those closest to her are retelling Diana’s story once again.
## Harry’s documentary plans
According to People, Harry has been exploring several ideas for his reported project and has been speaking with friends and family members who knew Diana.
## William’s stance
Prince William has made it clear he wants to let his mother and her legacy rest in peace, feeling enough had been said about her.
## Spencer’s memoir
Charles Spencer’s memoir Swan Song claims Prince Charles told him, 'we’ll forget [Diana] soon enough' after her death during a heated exchange over funeral plans.
