He is a King-to-be like no other. Moulded by his mother, forged through adversity, now guided by relentless respect for his country, William is a Royal with something to say.
Opinions that may provoke a debate but always leave his standing higher among his admiring and dutiful public.

In this elegant documentary of record, Air TV scours the archives for key interviews and speeches that illustrate William’s triumphant life. From a toddler who captured the hearts of the world, to his battles with the tabloid press and his brother, to the charming diplomatic statesman who looks ready for his rightful place on the throne.

From his first public words delivered to a regiment of journalists on a Swiss ski-slope in 1994 – “I’m improving quite quickly,” he said – the world has been desperately waiting to hear the innermost thoughts of our next King.

This is a television autobiography of a Royal who has lived a real life.

We hear how late-night visits to homeless people with his mother shaped his views on society, how a career as an air ambulance pilot once reduced him to tears and how sitting on a football terrace is his favourite place to escape and vent his feelings, often in very colourful language!

From fellow RAF aircrew to celebrity acquaintances, Royal correspondents to former school mates, this documentary will create an intricate portrait of one Britain’s most revered public figures.

We follow his life from the playing fields of Eton to his modest first home in Anglesey; a student bedsit in St Andrew’s to idyllic Adelaide Cottage – his current home.

Viewers will get to know the nation’s favourite Royal through what he said… and sometimes what he didn’t.
