Description
He is heir to the throne of the British Empire, to a life of unequaled privilege, duty and scrutiny Prince Charles, the man who would be King. This revealing portrait was made possible through unprecedented access to the Royal Family. Filmed during a year of travel and turmoil, it follows the Prince to foreign capitals, aboard the Royal yacht, even through the chilling assassination attempt in Australia. Additionally, in a series of extraordinary conversations, we see the person behind the Princely image, as Charles candidly discusses the most sensitive subjects of his life including the revelations about his marriage that stunned the world!Join BIOGRAPHY for a penetrating portrait that will change your views of the man and the monarchy forever.
After the death of his ex-wife, Prince Charles hit the road to redemption, graced People magazine, smiled about turning 50, and was happy about finally introducing his beloved mistress Camilla Parker Bowles to the British people and to his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. This documentary reacquaints us with Charles, once known the world over as the "most eligible bachelor," then later as its coldest man, and more recently as a man determined to present himself in some of the magical light that shone upon Princess Diana. From his dreary early years (his mother, after nine months abroad, politely shook hands with her toddler son, after greeting several others) to his horrific boarding-school experience we get a glimpse of the son of the richest woman in the world's childhood--a childhood that no one could envy. Photographed at every turn, the video presents early documentation of the grandson to the king, his mother's unexpectedly early coronation (Charles was 5, Elizabeth only 25), and interviews with royal watchers, journalists, analysts, and even some of Charles's former classmates. From his investiture as Prince of Wales in 1969 to his years in the navy (when Camilla suddenly married Andrew Parker Bowles) to his "swinging" bachelor years, Charles made news. But it wasn't until 32-year-old Charles married 19-year-old aristocrat Lady Diana Spencer in 1981 that the world developed a fascination with Diana and began scrutinizing their marriage. Charles, a devout vegetarian known to talk to his plants--but who still hunts--plays polo, and fancies himself an intellectual, is an intriguing character. --N.F. Mendoza
