from private collections, this documentary takes a closer look at
The Queen from a more personal standpoint.

Prince George at One – Monday
29th Sep, 8pm
After turning one just two months ago, this documentary celebrates
the much anticipated birth of Prince George and looks back at the
young Prince’s first year. The birth of the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge’s first child saw the royal couple’s roles change from a
young married couple into dotting and attentive parents. George’s
first year has been noticeably busy, especially after making a few
public appearances during the young family’s tour of Australia and
New Zealand earlier this year. With the recent news that the
Duchess is pregnant again, we can only expect more
documentaries such as these taking place in the near future.
Harry at 30 – Tuesday 30th
Sep, 8pm
With Prince Harry’s 30th birthday being just around the
corner on 15th September, this documentary looks back at
the Prince’s past three decades. From Harry’s first public
appearance when he was brought out of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s
hospital by his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales and Prince
Charles, to the day her started school, this documentary looks at
the Prince’s upbringing, his time at Eton, and his enrolment at
Sandhurst. This broadcast will take a particular look at Harry’s
inspirational gap-year in Lesotho, and how this motivated him to
begin his charity work with orphaned children in Africa. Along with
mentions of his more notorious past escapades during his school
days and in Las Vegas, this documentary will shadow light on the
Prince’s hard work with injured ex-service men and women and his
deployments to Afghanistan.
