The hopes of a nation resting on his shoulders, Prince George is destined for greatness. This unique young man represents both the future of the Royal Family and the entire institution of the monarchy. But how could anybody possibly learn to be the King… the most exclusive job in the world? In this documentary, we will uncover the secrets of his royal upbringing; how he is raised, his education, the Royal rituals he must learn, and how his modern upbringing is bringing the Royal Family kicking and screaming into the modern age.
George’s experience is in sharp contrast to the very different upbringings his father and grandfather have had, from Charles’ gruelling initiation into education in Scotland, to William’s frantic and chaotic school runs with Princess Diana, being hounded by the press. We’ll dig deep into the rich and shocking history of how Charles’ and William’s own journeys to the throne have taken shape.
From meeting Obama in his dressing gown, to being the first heir to have a role in a King’s Coronation, George has burst onto the world stage. With exclusive access to those close to him, we will chart his journey to the throne and what lies ahead… for the special boy who would be King.
