Part one of a two-part documentary that shines a light on the new British monarch, told with an extensive collection of rare royal archive and revelatory interviews from those who know him well. The first episode explores how an often-absent mother and tough-loving father shaped Charles from a sensitive boy, as well as the breakdown of his marriage and affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles, which the media pored over in lurid detail.
The second episode of the two-part documentary focuses on the death of Princess Diana, and how the tragedy impacted public attitudes to the future king and queen consort. The programme examines how family crises and scandal still have the potential to prove dangerous for the monarchy.
