3
00:00:15,892 --> 00:00:18,645
(calm music)
4
00:00:18,978 --> 00:00:23,208
- [William] Doing a job like
this is worthwhile, valuable,
5
00:00:23,232 --> 00:00:27,002
and to me, there's an
element of duty about it.
6
00:00:27,026 --> 00:00:29,255
Some of my earliest
memories relate to times
7
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:31,174
that my parents spoke to me,
8
00:00:31,198 --> 00:00:33,928
or even better, showed
me what it meant
9
00:00:33,952 --> 00:00:37,412
to have both privilege
and responsibilities.
10
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:40,015
- Charles sort of set out
11
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:42,393
almost what everybody's
role would be,
12
00:00:42,417 --> 00:00:45,731
and he named that
William and Catherine
13
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:49,048
would be the new Prince
and Princess of Wales.
14
00:00:50,509 --> 00:00:54,530
- [Penny] I think he
will be very much a King
15
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:57,032
who knows his own mind.
16
00:00:57,056 --> 00:01:00,979
William's a very determined man.
17
00:01:01,103 --> 00:01:05,291
I think he takes the
role very seriously.
18
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:07,694
I think he believes in monarchy.
19
00:01:08,067 --> 00:01:11,781
- [Ingrid] At the moment,
they are the golden couple.
20
00:01:12,071 --> 00:01:14,133
- [Katie] The royal
family is built on history
21
00:01:14,157 --> 00:01:16,051
and tradition and protocol,
22
00:01:16,075 --> 00:01:17,387
but actually in
William and Kate,
23
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:21,056
you see a future King and Queen
who are driving it forward
24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,102
and taking it on
to the next step.
25
00:01:24,126 --> 00:01:26,689
(crowd cheering)
26
00:01:26,713 --> 00:01:29,548
(calm music)
27
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:45,958
- This goes on and on and
on, doesn't it? (laughs)
28
00:01:45,982 --> 00:01:48,293
There's queues of people, right?
29
00:01:48,317 --> 00:01:51,880
- [Penny] This family
has service sort of,
30
00:01:51,904 --> 00:01:53,506
you know, running through them.
31
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:56,217
William has got it.
His father's got it.
32
00:01:56,241 --> 00:01:58,012
His grandmother's got it.
33
00:01:58,036 --> 00:02:00,095
But I think he's also very much,
34
00:02:00,119 --> 00:02:05,250
much more a man of the
modern age and of the people.
35
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:09,628
- [Ingrid] He will be
very much more modern
36
00:02:09,922 --> 00:02:13,609
than his grandmother
or his father,
37
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:18,137
and I think he'll be much
more the people's King.
38
00:02:19,389 --> 00:02:21,409
(upbeat music)
39
00:02:21,433 --> 00:02:24,119
- [William] To me, I didn't
join the forces to be,
40
00:02:24,143 --> 00:02:25,371
like I said the
last time before,
41
00:02:25,395 --> 00:02:27,791
mollycoddled or
treated any different.
42
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:29,001
Every day you come in to work,
43
00:02:29,025 --> 00:02:30,126
and you don't quite know
what's gonna happen.
44
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:33,128
It's quite exciting in that
sense, it's unpredictable.
45
00:02:33,152 --> 00:02:35,130
I think as a future head
of the armed forces,
46
00:02:35,154 --> 00:02:36,174
it's really
important that I was,
47
00:02:36,198 --> 00:02:39,594
you at least get the
opportunity to be credible
48
00:02:39,618 --> 00:02:41,930
and to do the job
that I signed up for
49
00:02:41,954 --> 00:02:43,389
and to do the best I can.
50
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:46,559
- And that was the point
at which I think William
51
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:50,480
went from being a young
man to a future King.
52
00:02:50,504 --> 00:02:53,925
(triumphant music)
53
00:03:02,516 --> 00:03:05,079
(calm music)
(people chattering)
54
00:03:05,103 --> 00:03:06,914
- [Narrator] Following
the death of his dearest
55
00:03:06,938 --> 00:03:10,165
and most revered grandmother,
Queen Elizabeth II,
56
00:03:10,189 --> 00:03:13,168
Prince William's
father, now Charles III,
57
00:03:13,192 --> 00:03:14,169
ascended to the throne,
58
00:03:14,193 --> 00:03:18,116
and Prince William took the
title of Prince of Wales.
59
00:03:18,323 --> 00:03:20,175
His Royal Highness
Prince William
60
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:22,637
is now second in
line to the throne,
61
00:03:22,661 --> 00:03:24,347
but he has his work cut out
62
00:03:24,371 --> 00:03:26,016
following in his
father's footsteps
63
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,002
and keeping up the tradition
of duty and hard work.
64
00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:32,940
His destiny is to
inherit the crown
65
00:03:32,964 --> 00:03:35,049
and succeed to the throne,
66
00:03:35,214 --> 00:03:38,216
but how does a prince
prepare to become King?
67
00:03:40,219 --> 00:03:42,698
- [Reporter] Crowds gathered
outside Buckingham Palace
68
00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:43,575
throughout the evening.
69
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:46,285
Then at 10:25, their
patience was rewarded
70
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:49,063
with the formal
notice of the birth.
71
00:03:50,106 --> 00:03:51,541
It was signed by
Mr. George Pinker,
72
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:54,209
the Queen's gynecologist,
and other doctors
73
00:03:54,233 --> 00:03:56,235
who attended the princess.
74
00:03:56,528 --> 00:03:59,214
- [Narrator] Prince William,
now Prince of Wales,
75
00:03:59,238 --> 00:04:01,426
firstborn son of
King Charles III
76
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:03,218
and Diana, Princess of Wales,
77
00:04:03,242 --> 00:04:05,764
has always been
in the spotlight.
78
00:04:05,788 --> 00:04:07,390
Born second in
line to the throne,
79
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:11,226
he was destined for a life
of duty and of service.
80
00:04:11,250 --> 00:04:14,522
@ - The fact that Dianaú
produced a little boy and heir
81
00:04:14,546 --> 00:04:17,358
@ I think just further endearedú
her to the British public.
82
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:18,986
@ People loved her even more,
83
00:04:19,010 --> 00:04:21,696
and when she came out
holding Prince William
84
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,449
with Prince Charles, images
that really just melted,
85
00:04:24,473 --> 00:04:27,660
I think, even the most hardened
hearts around the country.
86
00:04:27,684 --> 00:04:30,705
And it was a cause
for great celebration.
87
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:33,041
Britain had come through
a difficult time,
88
00:04:33,065 --> 00:04:34,042
and I think the royal family
89
00:04:34,066 --> 00:04:36,251
were giving the country
something to look forward to.
90
00:04:36,275 --> 00:04:38,005
- [Reporter] The skies
were clear this morning
91
00:04:38,029 --> 00:04:40,883
as the Royal Australian Air
Force jet made its approach.
92
00:04:40,907 --> 00:04:43,426
Prince and Princess
emerged showing no sign
93
00:04:43,450 --> 00:04:45,888
of the long flight and
obviously well-educated
94
00:04:45,912 --> 00:04:48,891
in the right sort of clothes
to wear in Central Australia.
95
00:04:48,915 --> 00:04:50,683
And then the moment more
than a hundred reporters
96
00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:53,812
and cameramen flew from
all over the world to see,
97
00:04:53,836 --> 00:04:56,815
the public debut of
nine-month-old Prince William,
98
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,524
second in line to the throne.
99
00:04:58,548 --> 00:05:00,526
- [Narrator] Of course,
for Prince William,
100
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:01,820
he would've been
able to understand
101
00:05:01,844 --> 00:05:04,114
little of what was going
on around him at the time
102
00:05:04,138 --> 00:05:06,365
as his nanny carried him
carefully down the steps
103
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:09,327
of the aircraft onto
a Australian soil.
104
00:05:09,351 --> 00:05:12,164
Diana's decision to take
her baby, Prince William,
105
00:05:12,188 --> 00:05:16,292
with her on their
tour of Australia and
New Zealand in 1983
106
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:19,087
was criticized in some
corners of the media,
107
00:05:19,111 --> 00:05:21,256
but it was a turning
point for Diana
108
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,134
and the catalyst for her
to grow in popularity
109
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:25,300
with the public.
110
00:05:25,324 --> 00:05:28,079
(calm music)
111
00:05:32,331 --> 00:05:35,896
Later, to protect the young
princes, William and Harry,
112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,356
from the excesses of
the press and paparazzi,
113
00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:41,151
the royal family came to
an agreement with the media
114
00:05:41,175 --> 00:05:44,112
that the boys would be
free from press intrusion
115
00:05:44,136 --> 00:05:46,114
whilst they were being educated,
116
00:05:46,138 --> 00:05:48,116
and in exchange,
the family undertook
117
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:51,326
to give regular updates
to the mainstream media.
118
00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:52,327
- [Reporter] Exactly on time,
119
00:05:52,351 --> 00:05:53,829
the family emerged
from the house,
120
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:55,982
one prince carrying another.
121
00:05:56,565 --> 00:05:58,834
Everyone agreed that Prince
William had grown a lot
122
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:00,335
in the five weeks
since he arrived
123
00:06:00,359 --> 00:06:02,947
in Australia at Alice Springs.
124
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:08,343
The princess, wisely
hedging her bets a little,
125
00:06:08,367 --> 00:06:09,972
had told us she
would not guarantee
126
00:06:09,996 --> 00:06:13,165
that the 10-month-old
prince would crawl.
127
00:06:17,376 --> 00:06:18,353
- Look, look, good.
(William squeals)
128
00:06:18,377 --> 00:06:21,924
- [Reporter] So what did
Prince William do immediately?
129
00:06:23,134 --> 00:06:26,905
(crowd laughing)
- Whoa!
130
00:06:26,929 --> 00:06:28,363
- Now let him come this way.
131
00:06:28,387 --> 00:06:34,913
- William had a
fairly traditional
aristocratic childhood
132
00:06:34,937 --> 00:06:39,625
inasmuch as he was taken
care of by nannies.
133
00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:41,376
@ His parents were, you know,
134
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,006
Diana particularly
was a modern parent,
135
00:06:44,030 --> 00:06:46,882
but she was a modern
aristocratic parent,
136
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:49,760
and she did use nannies,
137
00:06:49,784 --> 00:06:51,596
and the nannies
really were the people
138
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:55,207
that William spent
most of his time with.
139
00:06:55,414 --> 00:06:58,393
He had been a very
outgoing little boy.
140
00:06:58,417 --> 00:07:00,396
At his first school,
he was known as Basher,
141
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:04,109
Basher Wills or Basher
Wales, 'cause he was,
142
00:07:04,133 --> 00:07:08,720
you know, quite
stroppy and confident.
143
00:07:09,138 --> 00:07:11,116
- [Narrator] After his early
years at Ludgrove School,
144
00:07:11,140 --> 00:07:13,952
the young Prince William entered
the gates of Eton College
145
00:07:13,976 --> 00:07:17,580
where he fitted in easily to
its centuries-old traditions
146
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:20,375
and where he found
like-minded people.
147
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:22,085
- [Reporter] For their
eldest son's big day,
148
00:07:22,109 --> 00:07:25,047
the Princess of Wales
was in the driving seat
149
00:07:25,071 --> 00:07:27,422
with the Prince of
Wales at her side.
150
00:07:27,446 --> 00:07:28,466
Eton's most famous new boy
151
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:32,078
was with his younger
brother, Harry, in the back.
152
00:07:32,411 --> 00:07:35,890
- William's education
was at Eton College.
153
00:07:35,914 --> 00:07:40,519
Eton College is probably
the leading public school
154
00:07:40,543 --> 00:07:45,464
in England, and it's
very traditional.
155
00:07:45,674 --> 00:07:48,362
William's mother, Diana,
Princess of Wales,
156
00:07:48,386 --> 00:07:50,613
insisted that he went to Eton,
157
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:55,308
as did her father and her
younger brother, Charles.
158
00:07:55,558 --> 00:07:58,163
Prince Charles acceded to this.
159
00:07:58,187 --> 00:08:00,956
He went to Gordonstoun, where
he was thoroughly miserable
160
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:04,543
and cried almost every time he
had to go back to to school,
161
00:08:04,567 --> 00:08:08,714
even as a teenager,
and he allowed his sons
162
00:08:08,738 --> 00:08:11,301
both to go to a
very elitist school.
163
00:08:11,325 --> 00:08:13,469
It's very elite,
it's very expensive,
164
00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:15,013
it's very posh, if you will,
165
00:08:15,037 --> 00:08:21,127
but it also has a degree
of freedom for the pupils.
166
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:24,479
They are encouraged
to be self-confident
167
00:08:24,503 --> 00:08:25,773
and to find themselves.
168
00:08:25,797 --> 00:08:29,361
And when William came there
after being at Ludgrove,
169
00:08:29,385 --> 00:08:33,488
the prep school, people
realized, as he had to sign in,
170
00:08:33,511 --> 00:08:38,661
every pupil signs into
the book when they come,
171
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:39,621
that he was left-handed.
172
00:08:39,645 --> 00:08:43,149
First time people realized
he was a southpaw.
173
00:08:43,522 --> 00:08:44,542
- [Narrator] William
threw himself
174
00:08:44,566 --> 00:08:46,501
enthusiastically
into school life,
175
00:08:46,525 --> 00:08:49,214
but if there was one area
in which he really excelled,
176
00:08:49,238 --> 00:08:52,550
it would be sport, an
arena in which he continues
177
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:54,469
to devote his
energies to this day,
178
00:08:54,493 --> 00:08:56,929
seeming to naturally
embrace all the principles
179
00:08:56,953 --> 00:08:58,764
of sportsmanship and teamwork
180
00:08:58,788 --> 00:09:02,310
which make it so
important in our lives.
181
00:09:02,334 --> 00:09:05,171
(calm music)
182
00:09:09,216 --> 00:09:12,611
Unfortunately, although William
enjoyed his time at Eton,
183
00:09:12,635 --> 00:09:17,183
it was of course blighted by
the tragic death of his mother.
184
00:09:21,312 --> 00:09:24,523
(rain pattering)
185
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:29,421
(mourner sobbing)
(camera clicking)
186
00:09:29,445 --> 00:09:32,198
(calm music)
187
00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:55,197
- [Mourner] I don't
know, it was so modern.
188
00:09:55,221 --> 00:09:57,157
- There goes trouble.
- Charles, shut up.
189
00:09:57,181 --> 00:09:58,573
- [Mourner] Charles.
190
00:09:58,597 --> 00:10:00,410
- Thank you so much, thank you.
191
00:10:00,434 --> 00:10:02,577
- [Mourner] Harry,
I'm so sorry, sorry.
192
00:10:02,601 --> 00:10:05,123
- [Mourner] William, William.
193
00:10:05,147 --> 00:10:07,375
- Thank you so much, thank you.
194
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:09,485
- [Mourner] Oh, no.
195
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,130
- Thank you very much.
196
00:10:12,154 --> 00:10:13,881
Thank you.
- You, too.
197
00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:16,384
(mourners chattering)
- William, we love you!
198
00:10:16,408 --> 00:10:19,595
- You know, how
does any 15-year-old
199
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:22,997
and 12-year-old cope with that?
200
00:10:25,209 --> 00:10:28,504
It was devastating
for them, obviously.
201
00:10:29,296 --> 00:10:32,006
(calm music)
202
00:10:54,153 --> 00:10:59,909
(peaceful music)
(horse hooves clomping)
203
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:04,789
On the day of the funeral,
204
00:11:05,664 --> 00:11:10,712
William and Harry walked
behind the cortege.
205
00:11:12,339 --> 00:11:14,592
It was a long walk,
206
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:20,679
and there were crowds
sobbing and wailing
207
00:11:22,098 --> 00:11:26,661
and hundred, thousands
and thousands of people
208
00:11:26,685 --> 00:11:32,691
lining the route, and they
walked with their father,
209
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:36,488
their grandfather,
and Charles Spencer.
210
00:11:38,197 --> 00:11:41,743
- She was an exceptional
and gifted human being
211
00:11:42,411 --> 00:11:44,013
in good times and bad.
212
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:47,642
She never lost her
capacity to smile and laugh
213
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:51,711
nor to inspire others with
her warmth and kindness.
214
00:11:52,296 --> 00:11:55,690
I admired and respected
her for her energy
215
00:11:55,714 --> 00:11:57,319
and commitment to others,
216
00:11:57,343 --> 00:12:01,263
and especially for her
devotion to her two boys.
217
00:12:02,431 --> 00:12:06,701
- William and Harry, we all
care desperately for you today.
218
00:12:06,725 --> 00:12:08,246
We are all chewed
up with sadness
219
00:12:08,270 --> 00:12:11,541
at the loss of a woman who
wasn't even our mother.
220
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:15,337
How great your suffering
is, we cannot even imagine.
221
00:12:15,361 --> 00:12:18,130
Above all, we give thanks
for the life of a woman
222
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:21,050
I'm so proud to be
able to call my sister,
223
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:24,719
the unique, the complex,
the extraordinary
224
00:12:24,743 --> 00:12:27,932
and irreplaceable
Diana whose beauty,
225
00:12:27,956 --> 00:12:29,767
both internal and external,
226
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:33,379
will never be extinguished
from our minds.
227
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:42,261
(crowd applauding)
228
00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:03,759
(calm music)
229
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,595
- [Narrator] After
graduating from Eton,
230
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:07,762
like many young men
of his generation,
231
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:10,517
Prince William
decided on a gap year.
232
00:13:10,541 --> 00:13:13,227
- [Reporter] Now he's off
to the plains of Patagonia
233
00:13:13,251 --> 00:13:15,794
for a 10-week expedition.
234
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:18,190
- I wanted to do something
constructive in my gap year
235
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:21,819
rather than, I mean, I could
do quite a little work,
236
00:13:21,843 --> 00:13:25,780
but I thought this was a
bit more of a way of making,
237
00:13:25,804 --> 00:13:28,618
trying to help people out
and meet a whole range
238
00:13:28,642 --> 00:13:31,786
of other different people
from different countries
239
00:13:31,810 --> 00:13:34,813
and at the same
time helping people
240
00:13:34,939 --> 00:13:36,816
in remote areas of Chile.
241
00:13:37,735 --> 00:13:39,421
(calm music)
242
00:13:39,445 --> 00:13:40,755
- I think we're very much seeing
243
00:13:40,779 --> 00:13:42,507
@ a royal for the new century.
244
00:13:42,531 --> 00:13:44,592
@Very relaxed, not stage managed,
245
00:13:44,616 --> 00:13:48,555
@ happy to josh a bit with
hisú father in an informal way,
246
00:13:48,579 --> 00:13:51,806
but not scared to say
exactly what he's feeling
247
00:13:51,830 --> 00:13:55,811
and certainly not prepared to
dodge the difficult issues.
248
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,812
- [Reporter] The
clearest example of that,
249
00:13:57,836 --> 00:13:59,814
his challenge to the press today
250
00:13:59,838 --> 00:14:01,816
to let his mother rest in peace.
251
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,570
- [Narrator] Through
his early voluntary work
252
00:14:03,594 --> 00:14:04,819
with Raleigh International,
253
00:14:04,843 --> 00:14:06,821
the young prince
set off for Chile
254
00:14:06,845 --> 00:14:07,822
where he spent three months
255
00:14:07,846 --> 00:14:09,824
working on various
community projects,
256
00:14:09,848 --> 00:14:13,120
painting, chopping wood,
and even cleaning the loos
257
00:14:13,144 --> 00:14:15,063
just like everybody else.
258
00:14:15,731 --> 00:14:18,876
- There was no question in
any of the gap year, actually,
259
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:22,756
that he was a prince
and treated differently.
260
00:14:22,780 --> 00:14:26,841
He mucked in, he slept
in sleeping bags,
261
00:14:26,865 --> 00:14:29,928
you know, he cooked
food around a campfire.
262
00:14:29,952 --> 00:14:32,931
He did everything that
everyone else did.
263
00:14:32,955 --> 00:14:34,224
- [Narrator] A few weeks later,
264
00:14:34,248 --> 00:14:35,976
a young Kate Middleton
also undertook
265
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,188
a similar voluntary role,
and on that occasion,
266
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:41,255
they just missed each other.
267
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:47,071
Prince William loves Scotland,
and it didn't take him long
268
00:14:47,095 --> 00:14:48,906
to decide to continue
his education
269
00:14:48,930 --> 00:14:51,683
at the University
of St. Andrews.
270
00:14:51,890 --> 00:14:56,371
- He did well enough to get
not a place at Oxbridge,
271
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:58,415
which could've
been fixed for him.
272
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,793
There was speculation
that he would go
273
00:14:59,817 --> 00:15:02,877
to Trinity College
Cambridge as his father did,
274
00:15:02,901 --> 00:15:05,840
but he was sufficient
of his own man to say,
275
00:15:05,864 --> 00:15:08,802
"No, I want to go to
Scotland. I like Scotland."
276
00:15:08,826 --> 00:15:10,344
He chose St. Andrews University,
277
00:15:10,368 --> 00:15:13,515
very ancient university
in the Kingdom of Fife,
278
00:15:13,539 --> 00:15:16,601
and so by chance
did Kate Middleton.
279
00:15:16,625 --> 00:15:17,892
And that, of course,
where they were both
280
00:15:17,916 --> 00:15:21,773
first-year students, freshers,
that's where they met.
281
00:15:21,797 --> 00:15:23,566
- It was at St. Andrews
where that friendship,
282
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:26,276
because it was initially
a friendship, flourished.
283
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:27,529
William and Kate
were at the same
284
00:15:27,553 --> 00:15:29,531
halls of residence,
at St. Salvator's.
285
00:15:29,555 --> 00:15:31,741
They were on the same
course in the same year.
286
00:15:31,765 --> 00:15:33,660
I mean, some people say it
wasn't that just too much
287
00:15:33,684 --> 00:15:37,580
of a coincidence, but it
was how things worked out.
288
00:15:37,604 --> 00:15:40,124
And they spent the first
year as undergraduates
289
00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:41,709
really getting to
know each other.
290
00:15:41,733 --> 00:15:43,961
William was not particularly
happy in his course.
291
00:15:43,985 --> 00:15:45,713
They were both doing
history of art,
292
00:15:45,737 --> 00:15:47,757
and Kate was really
great actually
293
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:51,009
at trying to keep him focused,
keep him incentivized,
294
00:15:51,033 --> 00:15:53,137
and actually stop him
from leaving St. Andrews,
295
00:15:53,161 --> 00:15:56,098
which was at one point
what he wanted to do.
296
00:15:56,122 --> 00:15:56,932
He didn't leave.
297
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:59,101
He switched course, and they
spent the next four years
298
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:01,771
living together and
falling in love.
299
00:16:01,795 --> 00:16:02,980
(peaceful music)
300
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:06,941
- The people of St. Andrews
are a very close-knit
301
00:16:06,965 --> 00:16:11,656
sort of society, and they
welcomed William with open arms,
302
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,241
and they were very
protective of him.
303
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:18,078
And as a result, you
know, he spent life,
304
00:16:18,102 --> 00:16:22,542
he spent four years there
as a pretty normal student.
305
00:16:22,566 --> 00:16:24,878
- I think the wonderful
thing about St. Andrews
306
00:16:24,902 --> 00:16:28,005
was it was a bubble
away from reality.
307
00:16:28,029 --> 00:16:29,924
It was a life that
Prince William
308
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:30,965
had never been able to enjoy.
309
00:16:30,989 --> 00:16:32,967
Whether it was going
to the local shops,
310
00:16:32,991 --> 00:16:35,970
going to a local bar,
going for his morning swim,
311
00:16:35,994 --> 00:16:37,972
he could get on with his life
312
00:16:37,996 --> 00:16:40,225
and his relationship in private.
313
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:42,977
- At all times, they
were highly discreet.
314
00:16:43,001 --> 00:16:45,272
They were almost
never seen together.
315
00:16:45,296 --> 00:16:47,399
They were, even
with their friends,
316
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:49,569
they didn't allow
any gossip to start.
317
00:16:49,593 --> 00:16:53,823
The people speculated, but
there was nothing definite
318
00:16:53,847 --> 00:16:55,990
which proved that
they were an item.
319
00:16:56,014 --> 00:16:58,994
- And I think the pair of them
absolutely loved those years.
320
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:01,996
They look upon those
St. Andrews years
321
00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:04,165
with great fondness,
and they are patrons
322
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:06,292
of St. Andrews University
because they feel
323
00:17:06,317 --> 00:17:09,002
such a strong connection
to that place.
324
00:17:09,027 --> 00:17:09,839
(William laughing)
325
00:17:09,864 --> 00:17:10,924
- [Reporter] In his own words,
326
00:17:10,948 --> 00:17:12,759
"It is time now for
the big wide world."
327
00:17:12,782 --> 00:17:15,469
But today, William's
family, like any other,
328
00:17:15,492 --> 00:17:18,890
well, almost, came to
say a proud farewell
329
00:17:18,914 --> 00:17:22,351
to a place that has allowed
him a more normal life
330
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:23,936
than any royal in history.
331
00:17:23,961 --> 00:17:26,689
That he is deeply
grateful is not in doubt,
332
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:31,049
and partly, of course,
it's been about this woman.
333
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,027
They've been allowed to
develop a relationship
334
00:17:33,051 --> 00:17:36,030
without front-page
scrutiny, and it's helped.
335
00:17:36,054 --> 00:17:38,032
- [Announcer]
Catherine Middleton.
336
00:17:38,056 --> 00:17:41,853
(audience applauding)
337
00:17:43,061 --> 00:17:46,040
- [Narrator] Romance did not
stand in the way of hard work,
338
00:17:46,064 --> 00:17:48,335
and Prince William
graduated alongside Kate
339
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,672
with a Scottish
Master of Arts degree
340
00:17:50,696 --> 00:17:52,882
with upper second class honors.
341
00:17:52,906 --> 00:17:54,926
Of course, no graduation
would be complete
342
00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:58,052
without family to proudly
celebrate academic achievement.
343
00:17:58,076 --> 00:18:00,472
But there are not many
who can include the Queen
344
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:02,432
in their university graduation.
345
00:18:02,456 --> 00:18:04,811
(calm music)
346
00:18:04,835 --> 00:18:06,688
- [Announcer] William Wales.
347
00:18:06,712 --> 00:18:10,298
(audience applauding)
348
00:18:20,098 --> 00:18:23,185
(peaceful music)
349
00:18:25,103 --> 00:18:26,080
- [Narrator] The
British royal family
350
00:18:26,104 --> 00:18:29,567
have served the armed
forces for generations.
351
00:18:30,108 --> 00:18:33,380
- It's a useful place,
really, for them to be,
352
00:18:33,404 --> 00:18:37,091
because certainly
in modern times,
353
00:18:37,115 --> 00:18:39,846
because they are away
from the prying eyes
354
00:18:39,870 --> 00:18:44,141
of the public and
the press, the media.
355
00:18:44,165 --> 00:18:46,060
It's a useful service.
356
00:18:46,084 --> 00:18:51,923
You know, they get
to experience danger,
357
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:54,109
and they get to
be part of a team,
358
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:55,695
and it's great for leadership
359
00:18:55,719 --> 00:18:59,949
and for mixing with people
from all walks of life,
360
00:18:59,973 --> 00:19:02,242
which is something that
when they're growing up,
361
00:19:02,266 --> 00:19:05,245
historically they didn't
really do so much.
362
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:06,122
- The reason it's important
363
00:19:06,146 --> 00:19:09,123
for members of the royal
family to serve in the military
364
00:19:09,147 --> 00:19:11,961
is because one day
as Prince of Wales,
365
00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:14,379
it's felt that it's
extremely important
366
00:19:14,403 --> 00:19:17,091
that if you are going to
be head of the military,
367
00:19:17,115 --> 00:19:19,133
that some way you
would've served.
368
00:19:19,157 --> 00:19:22,136
The Queen, in fact,
did serve with,
369
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,140
during World War II,
with the Women's Corps.
370
00:19:26,164 --> 00:19:29,144
- [Reporter] Elizabeth is
in the ATS, or British WAC,
371
00:19:29,168 --> 00:19:32,146
and at the King's
request is being treated
372
00:19:32,170 --> 00:19:34,649
just like any other trainee.
373
00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:37,151
- [Narrator] Queen Elizabeth
herself had an active role
374
00:19:37,175 --> 00:19:39,947
during World War II and
was the first female member
375
00:19:39,971 --> 00:19:44,183
of the royal family to serve
in a full-time military role.
376
00:19:44,475 --> 00:19:47,662
She diagnosed and
repaired faulty engines
377
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,373
serving in the ATS.
378
00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:51,751
William's grandfather,
Prince Philip,
379
00:19:51,775 --> 00:19:54,168
served with distinction
in World War II
380
00:19:54,192 --> 00:19:57,781
and was awarded the Greek
War Cross of Valour.
381
00:19:58,196 --> 00:19:59,884
Rising through the ranks,
the young Prince Philip
382
00:19:59,908 --> 00:20:02,887
became one of the youngest
officers in the Royal Navy
383
00:20:02,911 --> 00:20:04,889
to be promoted to
first lieutenant.
384
00:20:04,913 --> 00:20:08,182
Prince William's father
served in the Royal Air Force
385
00:20:08,206 --> 00:20:09,183
and the Royal Navy.
386
00:20:09,207 --> 00:20:10,310
- [Reporter] Prince
Charles stepped out
387
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:11,771
from the Fleet Air
Arms headquarters
388
00:20:11,795 --> 00:20:15,189
at Yeovilton in Somerset today
in perfect flying weather
389
00:20:15,213 --> 00:20:16,483
for his first hour's instruction
390
00:20:16,507 --> 00:20:20,029
at the controls of a
Wessex Mark 5 helicopter.
391
00:20:20,053 --> 00:20:22,949
It's the start of a 3
1/2-month flying course,
392
00:20:22,973 --> 00:20:24,198
at the end of which
he'll be qualified,
393
00:20:24,222 --> 00:20:27,201
like his father, Prince
Philip, to fly helicopters,
394
00:20:27,225 --> 00:20:30,123
including those belonging
to the Queen's flight.
395
00:20:30,147 --> 00:20:33,751
- [Narrator] Qualifying as
a helicopter pilot in 1974
396
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:36,420
and joining the 845
Naval Air Squadron
397
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:40,049
operating from the commando
carrier HMS Hermes.
398
00:20:40,073 --> 00:20:44,553
In February, 1976, Prince
Charles was promoted to command,
399
00:20:44,577 --> 00:20:49,058
and he took control
of HMS Bronington, a
coastal minehunter,
400
00:20:49,082 --> 00:20:52,169
for his last nine months
in the Royal Navy.
401
00:20:53,711 --> 00:20:55,522
- [William] If later
on I'm to be associated
402
00:20:55,546 --> 00:20:58,608
with all three services,
it'd be a very good idea
403
00:20:58,632 --> 00:21:01,094
to have an attachment
to each one.
404
00:21:01,259 --> 00:21:04,907
I think it gives one a
very useful experience,
405
00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:07,409
very useful experience of
responsibility and discipline.
406
00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:10,244
I think responsibility is
the most important thing,
407
00:21:10,268 --> 00:21:13,082
is the actual trust
that's putting you
408
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:15,249
to deal with other
people and the feeling
409
00:21:15,273 --> 00:21:18,904
that they can perhaps put
their trust in you as well.
410
00:21:19,487 --> 00:21:21,924
- [Narrator] Both William
and Harry were keen
411
00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:23,843
to follow the example
of their family
412
00:21:23,867 --> 00:21:26,744
and take an active
role in the military.
413
00:21:29,287 --> 00:21:31,308
After passing the
selection process
414
00:21:31,332 --> 00:21:32,894
to become an Army officer,
415
00:21:32,918 --> 00:21:35,269
Prince William took
his place at Sandhurst,
416
00:21:35,293 --> 00:21:38,065
the Royal Military Academy,
from which thousands
417
00:21:38,089 --> 00:21:40,943
of successful Army careers
have been launched.
418
00:21:40,967 --> 00:21:42,862
- Sandhurst used to
be filled, I think,
419
00:21:42,886 --> 00:21:48,201
with rather dimwitted
sons of the aristocracy.
420
00:21:48,225 --> 00:21:51,328
Today it is really a, you know,
421
00:21:51,352 --> 00:21:55,290
a very serious academy.
422
00:21:55,314 --> 00:22:01,319
It's a very tough course
and hugely physical.
423
00:22:01,362 --> 00:22:05,009
You pass quite serious
exams, academic exams,
424
00:22:05,033 --> 00:22:10,139
to get into Sandhurst, and
then once you're there,
425
00:22:10,163 --> 00:22:14,601
the regime is
pretty remorseless.
426
00:22:14,625 --> 00:22:16,854
William got through it.
427
00:22:16,878 --> 00:22:17,980
- [Narrator] The
cadets at Sandhurst
428
00:22:18,004 --> 00:22:21,315
are divided into companies, or
divisions as they're called.
429
00:22:21,339 --> 00:22:23,360
The senior division
always has the honor
430
00:22:23,384 --> 00:22:24,319
of carrying the color,
431
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,530
a banner personally
given by the sovereign.
432
00:22:26,554 --> 00:22:29,323
And as the senior cadets
complete their training,
433
00:22:29,347 --> 00:22:31,285
so the color is passed on.
434
00:22:31,309 --> 00:22:33,955
The academy RSM receives
the color and carries it
435
00:22:33,979 --> 00:22:37,355
to the new senior
division of the next year.
436
00:22:38,356 --> 00:22:39,376
- [Reporter] William
clearly learnt
437
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,921
how to march in step
here at Sandhurst.
438
00:22:41,945 --> 00:22:44,173
By all accounts, he
was a natural soldier,
439
00:22:44,197 --> 00:22:46,424
considered to be amongst
the best in his year.
440
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:49,344
- [Narrator] The 44-week
training course is grueling,
441
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:52,346
and it's reported that William
found enormous strength
442
00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:54,432
during this period
and made friends
443
00:22:54,456 --> 00:22:57,519
who remain close and
loyal to this day.
444
00:22:57,543 --> 00:23:00,814
- Next year sees
the 60th anniversary
445
00:23:00,838 --> 00:23:04,776
of the formation of the Royal
Military Academy Sandhurst,
446
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,430
the spiritual home
of the officer corps
of the British Army,
447
00:23:10,388 --> 00:23:13,577
and the high standards
which it continues to demand
448
00:23:13,601 --> 00:23:17,039
of its cadets have
been exemplified
449
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:21,399
by your impressive
drill and turnout today.
450
00:23:22,193 --> 00:23:25,256
The academy's principle
aim is to develop
451
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,177
the qualities of leadership,
character, and intellect
452
00:23:30,201 --> 00:23:34,598
demanded of an Army officer
on first appointment.
453
00:23:34,622 --> 00:23:39,085
I place that trust in
you with confidence,
454
00:23:39,377 --> 00:23:42,189
and my prayers for
your success and safety
455
00:23:42,213 --> 00:23:47,218
will follow you wherever you
may be called upon to serve.
456
00:23:47,425 --> 00:23:50,655
- [Narrator] Graduating with
the rank of Lieutenant Wales,
457
00:23:50,679 --> 00:23:52,116
William followed
his younger brother
458
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:55,036
into the Blues and Royals
as a troop commander,
459
00:23:55,060 --> 00:23:57,411
which meant a further
five-month training
460
00:23:57,435 --> 00:23:59,248
at Bovington Camp in Dorset.
461
00:23:59,272 --> 00:24:02,376
- Harry had been to
Sandhurst ahead of William
462
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,379
because he didn't do, he
didn't go to university,
463
00:24:05,403 --> 00:24:10,449
and he had joined the
Blues and Royals regiment.
464
00:24:11,034 --> 00:24:13,762
William, when he
graduated from Sandhurst,
465
00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:19,958
when he passed out, he also
joined the Blues and Royals.
466
00:24:20,251 --> 00:24:25,131
But because of the
way that the regiments
467
00:24:26,464 --> 00:24:30,154
@ rotated in their deployments,
468
00:24:30,178 --> 00:24:32,031
@it was quite clear that William
469
00:24:32,055 --> 00:24:35,891
was not actually going to
make it to Afghanistan.
470
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:41,040
His regiment wouldn't
go there for 18 months,
471
00:24:41,064 --> 00:24:45,459
and rather than sit
around kicking his heels
472
00:24:45,483 --> 00:24:50,365
doing training work
in this country,
473
00:24:50,572 --> 00:24:54,468
he decided to go and
look at the other forces.
474
00:24:54,492 --> 00:24:57,372
(calm music)
475
00:25:00,582 --> 00:25:03,645
- [Narrator] Prince William
moved to the Royal Air Force,
476
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:06,148
and in 2008, he
completed a 12-week
477
00:25:06,172 --> 00:25:10,277
intensive flying training
course at RAF College Cranwell.
478
00:25:10,301 --> 00:25:13,030
@ - Prince William willú
arrive here January 2008,
479
00:25:13,054 --> 00:25:14,781
and he'll be attached
to the Royal Air Force
480
00:25:14,805 --> 00:25:16,533
for four months, and
during that time,
481
00:25:16,557 --> 00:25:17,701
there'll be some
flying training,
482
00:25:17,725 --> 00:25:20,870
and he'll also then go on
to operational squadrons
483
00:25:20,894 --> 00:25:22,496
to see how the operational side
484
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,790
of the Royal Air Force operates.
485
00:25:23,814 --> 00:25:27,501
I think everybody's
very excited.
I know Prince William's keen
to come here and learn to fly,
486
00:25:27,525 --> 00:25:30,131
and the instructors who've
been chosen to teach him
487
00:25:30,155 --> 00:25:31,965
are looking forward
to it as well.
488
00:25:31,989 --> 00:25:33,007
- This is the Grob Tutor.
489
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:35,509
It's the RAF'S elementary
flying training aircraft.
490
00:25:35,533 --> 00:25:36,761
@ All our pilots come into this
491
00:25:36,785 --> 00:25:37,971
at the first stage
of their training
492
00:25:37,995 --> 00:25:39,348
as soon as they finish
officer's training.
493
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:41,515
@ So the course mates forú
finals in Wales will be doing
494
00:25:41,539 --> 00:25:44,728
@ exactly the same
trainingú as him at this stage.
495
00:25:44,752 --> 00:25:45,895
It's fairly docile to fly.
496
00:25:45,919 --> 00:25:48,522
It's something you could find
similar to at a flying club,
497
00:25:48,546 --> 00:25:49,649
but it's also fully aerobatic,
498
00:25:49,673 --> 00:25:50,942
so it's quite a
capable aircraft,
499
00:25:50,966 --> 00:25:52,194
and we can up the
pace quite quickly,
500
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:54,321
which is what we do on
our training course.
501
00:25:54,345 --> 00:25:57,199
- This is a Tucano
T Mark 1 trainer.
502
00:25:57,223 --> 00:26:00,286
It's the basic fast jet trainer
for the Royal Air Force,
503
00:26:00,310 --> 00:26:02,329
and Prince William is
going to be coming to us
504
00:26:02,353 --> 00:26:05,499
@ from his Tutor flying
toú expand his flying skills,
505
00:26:05,523 --> 00:26:08,085
@ give him some more
complicatedú and advanced techniques,
506
00:26:08,109 --> 00:26:11,045
@ and then progress him ontoú
the school phase of his course
507
00:26:11,069 --> 00:26:12,546
prior to the award of wings.
508
00:26:12,570 --> 00:26:14,799
It's gonna be a very
exciting period.
509
00:26:14,823 --> 00:26:17,386
It's a privilege to
train Prince William.
510
00:26:17,410 --> 00:26:18,970
With regard to how
he'll be treated,
511
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:20,347
he's going to be
treated the same
512
00:26:20,371 --> 00:26:21,474
as all the rest of our students
513
00:26:21,498 --> 00:26:24,583
and all the junior
officers that we work with.
514
00:26:24,875 --> 00:26:26,560
- In the Air Force, it's
known as the Squirrel,
515
00:26:26,584 --> 00:26:28,980
and ours is specifically
the AS.350BB,
516
00:26:29,004 --> 00:26:31,525
@ which is unique to the
Airú Force only in pure terms
517
00:26:31,549 --> 00:26:35,570
@ of what the aircraft has
onú it in terms of equipment.
518
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:37,071
We use it for basic
military training
519
00:26:37,095 --> 00:26:41,075
for all Army, Navy, and Air
Force rotary students in the UK.
520
00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:43,995
So the Prince will fly both
the Tutor and the Tucano
521
00:26:44,019 --> 00:26:46,123
before coming to Shawbury
to fly the Squirrel.
522
00:26:46,147 --> 00:26:48,501
- It's a huge honor
for all involved,
523
00:26:48,525 --> 00:26:51,711
and we have had royal
visitors in the past,
524
00:26:51,735 --> 00:26:54,465
and Cranwell especially
with its association
525
00:26:54,489 --> 00:26:56,133
with Prince Charles and
his flying training.
526
00:26:56,157 --> 00:26:58,760
Everyone is very much, very
much looking forward to it.
527
00:26:58,784 --> 00:26:59,803
He's not just another recruit,
528
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:03,432
but we are trying to make
him fit in as much as he can,
529
00:27:03,456 --> 00:27:05,809
and certainly that's what
happened with the Army.
530
00:27:05,833 --> 00:27:08,145
So he'll be treated the
same as anybody else
531
00:27:08,169 --> 00:27:09,438
who'll wear the same uniform,
532
00:27:09,462 --> 00:27:11,232
and those associated
would call him
533
00:27:11,256 --> 00:27:15,176
as they would any other junior
officer in the same rank.
534
00:27:15,633 --> 00:27:17,279
- [Interviewer] How's
life in the RAF?
535
00:27:17,303 --> 00:27:18,780
- Very good, enjoying
it very much.
536
00:27:18,804 --> 00:27:21,432
- [Interviewer] Is it very
different from the Army?
537
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,617
- In certain ways, yeah,
otherwise it's, you know,
538
00:27:23,641 --> 00:27:26,413
still the same
sort of camaraderie
539
00:27:26,437 --> 00:27:28,374
and everyone getting
along really well.
540
00:27:28,398 --> 00:27:29,623
- [Interviewer] Now,
I understand you flew
541
00:27:29,647 --> 00:27:31,709
your first solo
flight yesterday.
542
00:27:31,733 --> 00:27:32,546
- I did, yeah.
543
00:27:32,570 --> 00:27:33,547
- [Interviewer] How did it go?
544
00:27:33,571 --> 00:27:34,629
- Well, I'm still
here to tell the tale,
545
00:27:34,653 --> 00:27:35,797
and I haven't been
billed for a plane,
546
00:27:35,821 --> 00:27:37,508
so so far it looks all right.
547
00:27:37,532 --> 00:27:38,716
But it was one of
those experiences
548
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:41,094
where I thought it'll
never come around.
549
00:27:41,118 --> 00:27:43,637
And I thought, you know,
hopefully, a bit longer here,
550
00:27:43,661 --> 00:27:44,806
and I'll get a little
bit more practice.
551
00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:46,433
And the next thing I know,
my instructor jumps out
552
00:27:46,457 --> 00:27:47,641
and goes, "Go on,
get on with it."
553
00:27:47,665 --> 00:27:48,852
And I was left there sort
of looking around there
554
00:27:48,876 --> 00:27:49,812
and going, "Uh, what?"
555
00:27:49,836 --> 00:27:51,646
So I just did it, and once
you get up in the air,
556
00:27:51,670 --> 00:27:53,922
it was fine, it wasn't so bad.
557
00:27:54,756 --> 00:27:56,650
- His father had loved flying.
558
00:27:56,674 --> 00:27:59,677
His grandfather
had loved flying.
559
00:28:00,012 --> 00:28:01,655
It was very much in
the blood, I think.
560
00:28:01,679 --> 00:28:07,686
And he and his brother, of
course, Harry loved flying.
561
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:12,024
So the two brothers became
helicopter pilots in the end.
562
00:28:12,358 --> 00:28:14,587
- [Narrator] Once again,
proud parents were able
563
00:28:14,611 --> 00:28:17,171
to play an active role
on graduation day.
564
00:28:17,195 --> 00:28:20,217
- So he was presenting
William with his wings.
565
00:28:20,241 --> 00:28:22,595
I mean, it must, he
must've felt hugely proud
566
00:28:22,619 --> 00:28:26,680
but also a sort of
bittersweet moment for Charles
567
00:28:26,704 --> 00:28:30,727
because he himself
wasn't able to carry on
568
00:28:30,751 --> 00:28:33,187
with his flying career
because it was thought
569
00:28:33,211 --> 00:28:36,275
too dangerous for the
heir to the throne.
570
00:28:36,299 --> 00:28:38,067
- [Announcer] Flying
Officer William Wales,
571
00:28:38,091 --> 00:28:42,696
graduating with No.
227 and No. 97 courses.
572
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:48,478
(calm music)
(audience applauding)
573
00:28:55,568 --> 00:28:57,003
- [Narrator] After
serving in both the Army
574
00:28:57,027 --> 00:29:00,048
and the Royal Air Force,
William was then seconded
575
00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:02,716
to train with the Navy,
spending three weeks
576
00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:05,719
at the Britannia Royal
Navy College in Dartmouth.
577
00:29:05,743 --> 00:29:09,747
- So having learnt
to fly an aeroplane,
578
00:29:09,790 --> 00:29:15,796
he then went to explore the
Navy to get a taste of the Navy,
579
00:29:16,754 --> 00:29:19,592
and he went out to the Caribbean
580
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:25,348
on a drug-policing vessel.
581
00:29:25,763 --> 00:29:31,079
And during his time there,
he was part of a crew
582
00:29:31,103 --> 00:29:35,542
that busted a huge,
huge drugs haul
583
00:29:35,566 --> 00:29:38,151
worth millions of pounds.
584
00:29:38,444 --> 00:29:41,881
So he experienced quite
a lot of excitement
585
00:29:41,905 --> 00:29:45,158
and probably quite a
lot of danger, actually.
586
00:29:46,452 --> 00:29:47,389
- [Narrator] William extended
587
00:29:47,413 --> 00:29:49,138
his Royal Naval Short
Service Commission
588
00:29:49,162 --> 00:29:51,392
for as long as possible,
and it's reported
589
00:29:51,416 --> 00:29:55,269
that he greatly enjoyed his
time in the senior service,
590
00:29:55,293 --> 00:29:57,771
but he was called back
to the Royal Air Force
591
00:29:57,795 --> 00:29:59,733
and promoted to
flight lieutenant,
592
00:29:59,757 --> 00:30:02,068
taking up training to
become a helicopter pilot
593
00:30:02,092 --> 00:30:05,220
in the RAF Search
and Rescue Service.
594
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,909
- He was not going
into a battlefield.
595
00:30:09,933 --> 00:30:14,647
Nobody knew who he was
up in a helicopter,
596
00:30:14,812 --> 00:30:19,293
and yet it was very real
and meaningful work.
597
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:21,714
- To me, I didn't
join the forces to be,
598
00:30:21,738 --> 00:30:22,964
like I said the last
the last time before,
599
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:24,841
mollycoddled or
treated any different.
600
00:30:24,865 --> 00:30:27,469
And as far as I'm
concerned, in my eyes,
601
00:30:27,493 --> 00:30:29,262
if Harry can do it,
then I can do it.
602
00:30:29,286 --> 00:30:31,390
I don't really separate us.
There's not much difference.
603
00:30:31,414 --> 00:30:34,100
And I think as a future
head of the armed forces,
604
00:30:34,124 --> 00:30:35,769
it's really
important that I was,
605
00:30:35,793 --> 00:30:38,772
at least get the
opportunity to be credible
606
00:30:38,796 --> 00:30:40,814
and to do the job
that I signed up for
607
00:30:40,838 --> 00:30:41,858
and to do the best I can,
608
00:30:41,882 --> 00:30:43,192
and that's all I
ever wanted to do.
609
00:30:43,216 --> 00:30:45,236
And the search-and-rescue
role is now,
610
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:46,739
you know, slightly different.
611
00:30:46,763 --> 00:30:48,532
So obviously being able
to go to Afghanistan,
612
00:30:48,556 --> 00:30:49,824
but it's still doing
an important job,
613
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:51,825
and I hope that it's-
- Still be in the Air Force.
614
00:30:51,849 --> 00:30:52,910
- Yeah, I hope it's,
yeah, I hope it's just
615
00:30:52,934 --> 00:30:54,245
in the right direction,
exactly, for future.
616
00:30:54,269 --> 00:30:55,829
- [Narrator] The
training is demanding
617
00:30:55,853 --> 00:30:58,249
and includes advanced
handling, night flying,
618
00:30:58,273 --> 00:31:02,336
emergency handling, and
tactical and formation flying
619
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,631
on the Griffin HT1 helicopter.
620
00:31:04,655 --> 00:31:08,842
- William Wales, Flight
Lieutenant William Wales
621
00:31:08,866 --> 00:31:11,845
is posted to the
Operational Conversion Unit,
622
00:31:11,869 --> 00:31:16,976
203 Squadron, Royal Air Force
Valley to fly the Sea King.
623
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,853
(audience applauding)
624
00:31:17,877 --> 00:31:19,020
- [Narrator] Flight
Lieutenant Wales
625
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:20,773
graduated in January 2010
626
00:31:20,797 --> 00:31:24,858
from the Defence Helicopter
Flying School at RAF Shawbury.
627
00:31:24,882 --> 00:31:26,445
(Charles and William
speaking softly)
628
00:31:26,469 --> 00:31:30,055
(audience applauding)
629
00:31:30,807 --> 00:31:33,643
(calm music)
630
00:31:33,891 --> 00:31:37,664
Prince William then transferred
to RAF Valley at Anglesey,
631
00:31:37,688 --> 00:31:40,041
becoming the first member
of the royal family
632
00:31:40,065 --> 00:31:42,877
since Henry VII
to live in Wales.
633
00:31:42,901 --> 00:31:44,045
For the next eight months,
634
00:31:44,069 --> 00:31:46,172
he trained on the
Sea King helicopter
635
00:31:46,196 --> 00:31:51,470
and was assigned to C Flight
No. 22 Squadron as a co-pilot.
636
00:31:51,494 --> 00:31:53,137
- Well, before I started
search and rescue,
637
00:31:53,161 --> 00:31:55,557
I had a little brief
instruction to it,
638
00:31:55,581 --> 00:31:57,684
and it was immediate to me.
639
00:31:57,708 --> 00:31:59,436
I spent three hours
flying with the guys,
640
00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:01,020
and it was totally
apparent to me straightaway
641
00:32:01,044 --> 00:32:05,442
how important the job is and
the skills the guys employ,
642
00:32:05,466 --> 00:32:08,236
the flying aspects, the
the general airmanship
643
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:09,696
you need to have around you
644
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,449
and all the wits you need
to survive the weather
645
00:32:12,473 --> 00:32:14,908
and whatever sort of
situation you're thrown into.
646
00:32:14,932 --> 00:32:17,911
It definitely is advanced
flying, and it's rewarding.
647
00:32:17,935 --> 00:32:21,124
So put the two together,
and it's a fantastic job.
648
00:32:21,148 --> 00:32:23,877
It's rewarding because every
day you come in to work,
649
00:32:23,901 --> 00:32:25,002
and you don't quite know
what's gonna happen.
650
00:32:25,026 --> 00:32:27,046
It's quite exciting in that
sense, it's unpredictable,
651
00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:29,550
but at the same time it's
great that you get to go out
652
00:32:29,574 --> 00:32:31,593
and actually save
someone's life, hopefully,
653
00:32:31,617 --> 00:32:33,386
or at least make a
difference to someone.
654
00:32:33,410 --> 00:32:35,012
You know, when you know
that they're in trouble,
655
00:32:35,036 --> 00:32:36,930
you do everything you
can to try and get there.
656
00:32:36,954 --> 00:32:38,517
And the guys demonstrate that
657
00:32:38,541 --> 00:32:39,560
every single day they go out.
658
00:32:39,584 --> 00:32:42,670
And with the team
environment there is in the,
659
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,773
it's very much sort of
a big family in the sky,
660
00:32:44,797 --> 00:32:46,859
and the guys do a fantastic job.
661
00:32:46,883 --> 00:32:47,901
- We've got 11 pilots here.
662
00:32:47,925 --> 00:32:50,821
William's a fairly new
co-pilot, but as such,
663
00:32:50,845 --> 00:32:52,946
he flights the aircraft
as much as anyone else,
664
00:32:52,970 --> 00:32:55,701
@ and he'll be called uponú
quite regularly during jobs
665
00:32:55,725 --> 00:32:57,201
@to take control of the aircraft
666
00:32:57,225 --> 00:33:00,061
while the captain's
doing something else.
667
00:33:00,353 --> 00:33:02,248
Regarding a hierarchy,
we're all pretty much,
668
00:33:02,272 --> 00:33:05,919
we're all of equal rank
just with different
669
00:33:05,943 --> 00:33:06,960
varying levels of experience.
670
00:33:06,984 --> 00:33:09,046
So, and we all get on
very well together,
671
00:33:09,070 --> 00:33:11,633
have a joke and a laugh
when we're on the ground
672
00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:14,051
and get serious
when we're flying.
673
00:33:14,075 --> 00:33:15,136
- It's absolutely fantastic.
674
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,722
I mean, when William first
arrived on the squadron,
675
00:33:16,746 --> 00:33:18,014
it was a massive
shock to all of us,
676
00:33:18,038 --> 00:33:19,307
fairly dumbfounded, really,
677
00:33:19,331 --> 00:33:20,893
that somebody was such prestige
678
00:33:20,917 --> 00:33:21,975
@ was coming onto our squadron,
679
00:33:21,999 --> 00:33:24,813
@ but very quickly settledú
into just one of the guys,
680
00:33:24,837 --> 00:33:27,273
one of us, part of
the family certainly,
681
00:33:27,297 --> 00:33:30,193
@ and day to day, youú
don't even really notice.
682
00:33:30,217 --> 00:33:31,444
I suppose in 10, 15 years' time
683
00:33:31,468 --> 00:33:32,613
when we look back
on this occasion,
684
00:33:32,637 --> 00:33:34,823
it'll seemed very, very
special and memorable.
685
00:33:34,847 --> 00:33:37,224
But he's a great
guy to work with.
686
00:33:37,558 --> 00:33:40,036
- When you're flying along at
night in Snowdonia mountains
687
00:33:40,060 --> 00:33:41,454
and you've got 40-knot winds,
688
00:33:41,478 --> 00:33:42,915
the clouds down
to about 200 feet
689
00:33:42,939 --> 00:33:44,457
and you're trying to get
through to find someone
690
00:33:44,481 --> 00:33:48,044
who's either broken the
leg or is lost on the hill,
691
00:33:48,068 --> 00:33:49,003
it gets quite interesting.
692
00:33:49,027 --> 00:33:51,005
You have to use all four of
you, put brain power together,
693
00:33:51,029 --> 00:33:54,007
and your skill and
basically hope that,
694
00:33:54,031 --> 00:33:56,994
you know, you can actually
get there and help.
695
00:33:58,536 --> 00:34:01,999
(people chattering)
696
00:34:03,709 --> 00:34:06,312
- There was a key
moment in his life.
697
00:34:06,336 --> 00:34:10,609
It was in 2011, there
had been a huge,
698
00:34:10,632 --> 00:34:14,027
devastating earthquake
in New Zealand,
699
00:34:14,051 --> 00:34:16,989
and William said to
his private secretary,
700
00:34:17,014 --> 00:34:20,033
"Is anyone from the royal family
going down to New Zealand?
701
00:34:20,056 --> 00:34:23,395
Because if they're not,
I would like to go,
702
00:34:23,813 --> 00:34:25,373
and, you know,
represent the Queen
703
00:34:25,397 --> 00:34:31,319
and express our sorrow
at what's happened."
704
00:34:31,569 --> 00:34:32,505
And his private secretary says,
705
00:34:32,530 --> 00:34:33,507
"You can't possibly do this.
706
00:34:33,531 --> 00:34:34,967
You know, you haven't got time.
707
00:34:34,991 --> 00:34:36,049
How are you gonna work out?
708
00:34:36,072 --> 00:34:38,051
You know, you've got
these number of shifts
709
00:34:38,074 --> 00:34:40,764
you've got to do with
search and rescue."
710
00:34:40,788 --> 00:34:43,056
He said, "It's all right,
I've sorted all of that.
711
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,058
Just find out whether
whether I can go,
712
00:34:45,081 --> 00:34:46,645
whether anyone else is going."
713
00:34:46,668 --> 00:34:49,105
So he did, and he went,
714
00:34:49,129 --> 00:34:53,359
and he stood side
by side with people
715
00:34:53,382 --> 00:34:57,280
who'd lost loved ones,
homes, businesses.
716
00:34:57,304 --> 00:35:02,018
You know, the scenes there
were absolutely devastating.
717
00:35:02,935 --> 00:35:04,812
- My grandmother once said
718
00:35:05,102 --> 00:35:09,274
that "Grief is the
price we pay for love."
719
00:35:10,943 --> 00:35:15,131
Here today, we
love, and we grieve.
720
00:35:15,155 --> 00:35:18,091
- And that was the point
at which I think William
721
00:35:18,115 --> 00:35:22,095
went from being a young
man to a future King.
722
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:24,432
(calm music)
723
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:26,100
(crowd cheering)
724
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:27,351
- [Narrator] Family
life beckoned,
725
00:35:27,375 --> 00:35:30,104
and during his time at RAF
Valley, it was announced
726
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:34,131
that Prince William and Kate
Middleton were to marry.
727
00:35:35,968 --> 00:35:37,110
(plane engine rumbling)
728
00:35:37,134 --> 00:35:38,822
- [Reporter] Flying
himself into the land
729
00:35:38,846 --> 00:35:41,407
his family have worked
for generations,
730
00:35:41,431 --> 00:35:44,117
Ian Craig's plane
touches down in Lewa,
731
00:35:44,141 --> 00:35:46,788
the romantic hideaway
Prince William chose
732
00:35:46,812 --> 00:35:48,372
to make his proposal.
733
00:35:48,396 --> 00:35:49,498
- [Interviewer] Produce a ring?
734
00:35:49,522 --> 00:35:50,751
- Yeah.
- There and then?
735
00:35:50,775 --> 00:35:52,585
- I did, yep, I'd been
carrying it around with me
736
00:35:52,609 --> 00:35:55,629
in my rucksack for about
three weeks before that,
737
00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:57,007
and I literally
would not let it go.
738
00:35:57,031 --> 00:35:58,174
Everywhere I went, I
was keeping ahold of it,
739
00:35:58,198 --> 00:35:59,550
'cause I knew this
thing, if it disappeared,
740
00:35:59,574 --> 00:36:01,094
I'd be in a lot of trouble.
741
00:36:01,118 --> 00:36:02,721
And yeah, 'cause I'd planned it.
742
00:36:02,745 --> 00:36:04,137
It sort of, it went fine.
743
00:36:04,161 --> 00:36:05,724
As you know, you hear
a lot of horror stories
744
00:36:05,748 --> 00:36:07,558
about proposing, and
things go horribly wrong.
745
00:36:07,582 --> 00:36:08,518
It went really, really well.
746
00:36:08,542 --> 00:36:11,063
And yeah, I was very
pleased she said yes.
747
00:36:11,087 --> 00:36:13,923
(calm music)
748
00:36:16,759 --> 00:36:18,611
- I think it was very telling
749
00:36:18,635 --> 00:36:21,405
that he chose to
give Kate Middleton
750
00:36:21,429 --> 00:36:22,656
his mother's engagement ring.
751
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,160
And he said, "I want my
mother to be part of this,
752
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:27,161
to be present."
753
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:29,497
Not in a sinister
way, of course not,
754
00:36:29,521 --> 00:36:30,916
not the ghost at the feast,
755
00:36:30,940 --> 00:36:33,166
but there to enjoy
the celebrations
756
00:36:33,190 --> 00:36:36,129
and the fun of it all,
of a great occasion.
757
00:36:36,153 --> 00:36:39,590
And I think people are very
well aware of the background,
758
00:36:39,614 --> 00:36:44,244
and they certainly have
a great deal of sympathy,
759
00:36:44,954 --> 00:36:49,308
and they're almost
willing them to be happy
760
00:36:49,332 --> 00:36:54,480
because he particularly has
had difficulties in his life.
761
00:36:54,504 --> 00:37:00,260
(peaceful music)
(audience applauding)
762
00:37:03,220 --> 00:37:05,198
- [Narrator] On the
29th of April 2011,
763
00:37:05,222 --> 00:37:07,744
Prince William and
Kate Middleton married
764
00:37:07,768 --> 00:37:09,352
in Westminster Abbey.
765
00:37:09,727 --> 00:37:11,497
The nation took Kate
to their hearts,
766
00:37:11,521 --> 00:37:14,732
and she has been by
his side ever since.
767
00:37:15,985 --> 00:37:22,116
- This was very much a wedding,
their personal wedding.
768
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,177
Okay, it was very,
very public, obviously.
769
00:37:24,201 --> 00:37:27,220
It was televised, and
the world was watching,
770
00:37:27,244 --> 00:37:32,225
but it was essentially
their private wedding,
771
00:37:32,249 --> 00:37:35,503
and that's how they
kind of treated it.
772
00:37:36,254 --> 00:37:37,816
And it was very touching,
773
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,445
and Kate looked
absolutely stunning.
774
00:37:42,469 --> 00:37:48,265
(peaceful music)
(crowd cheering)
775
00:38:02,322 --> 00:38:05,258
- [Narrator] It was a
cause for big celebration.
776
00:38:05,282 --> 00:38:09,014
Crowds gathered from far
away to take part in the day.
777
00:38:09,038 --> 00:38:13,266
After all, Kate would one
day become Queen Consort.
778
00:38:13,290 --> 00:38:16,294
(peaceful music)
779
00:38:27,555 --> 00:38:29,951
Like many young newlyweds
in the services,
780
00:38:29,975 --> 00:38:32,285
duty called, and
Flight Lieutenant Wales
781
00:38:32,309 --> 00:38:34,413
was deployed to the
Falkland Islands,
782
00:38:34,437 --> 00:38:36,289
becoming part of a four-man crew
783
00:38:36,313 --> 00:38:38,501
providing cover
for aviation assets
784
00:38:38,525 --> 00:38:40,293
and assisting those
in need of rescue.
785
00:38:40,317 --> 00:38:45,365
@ - Search-and-rescue pilotsú
here provide 24-hour coverage
786
00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:47,300
@ with a Sea King helicopter.
787
00:38:47,324 --> 00:38:50,578
They're on duty for
a 24-hour period
788
00:38:50,996 --> 00:38:53,432
and covering any eventuality.
789
00:38:53,456 --> 00:38:57,270
As you've seen, the distances
here are quite large.
790
00:38:57,294 --> 00:38:59,272
The roads are not fantastic,
791
00:38:59,296 --> 00:39:00,982
and if we need to get somebody,
792
00:39:01,006 --> 00:39:03,317
military or civilian,
to hospital,
793
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,653
quite often
search-and-rescue helicopter
794
00:39:05,677 --> 00:39:07,072
is the best way of doing it.
795
00:39:07,096 --> 00:39:08,240
- [Narrator] The
deployment was seen
796
00:39:08,264 --> 00:39:10,658
as particularly controversial
as it came close
797
00:39:10,682 --> 00:39:14,745
to the 30th anniversary of the
start of the Falklands War.
798
00:39:14,769 --> 00:39:16,915
- The Argentinians
felt that this
799
00:39:16,939 --> 00:39:18,666
was a slap in the face to them
800
00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:24,779
for Prince William to be
marching about in uniform,
801
00:39:26,156 --> 00:39:28,051
humiliating the Argentinians
802
00:39:28,075 --> 00:39:30,971
on what they still believe
is their territory.
803
00:39:30,995 --> 00:39:32,264
(calm music)
804
00:39:32,288 --> 00:39:33,974
- [Narrator] Balancing
home and family life
805
00:39:33,998 --> 00:39:36,349
with a career can be difficult.
806
00:39:36,373 --> 00:39:38,727
Kate gave birth of
their first child,
807
00:39:38,751 --> 00:39:41,879
Prince George, in July 2013.
808
00:39:42,339 --> 00:39:43,942
The media camped
out in excitement
809
00:39:43,966 --> 00:39:46,676
to catch a glimpse
of the future King.
810
00:39:47,136 --> 00:39:48,947
Kate and William
greeted the press
811
00:39:48,971 --> 00:39:52,141
and introduced Prince
George to the world.
812
00:39:53,390 --> 00:39:55,619
After this, Flight
Lieutenant William Wales
813
00:39:55,643 --> 00:39:58,371
took the decision to
retire from active service
814
00:39:58,395 --> 00:40:02,210
in the Royal Air Force
in September 2013.
815
00:40:02,234 --> 00:40:04,170
- William, I think, that time,
816
00:40:04,194 --> 00:40:06,379
those years as a
search-and-rescue pilot,
817
00:40:06,403 --> 00:40:09,633
he really felt that he
did achieve something.
818
00:40:09,657 --> 00:40:13,804
It was a real job. There were
no concessions for who he was.
819
00:40:13,828 --> 00:40:15,723
He wasn't wrapped
up in cotton wool.
820
00:40:15,747 --> 00:40:21,919
But the time came where the
tour of duty came to an end,
821
00:40:22,338 --> 00:40:25,566
and I think he left probably
with quite a heavy heart,
822
00:40:25,590 --> 00:40:29,386
but he'd had a very,
very good time there.
823
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:33,406
And I think, you know,
he'd absolutely achieved
824
00:40:33,430 --> 00:40:35,243
what he set out to achieve.
825
00:40:35,267 --> 00:40:37,078
- [Narrator] During
his time at RAF Valley,
826
00:40:37,102 --> 00:40:41,457
Prince William undertook 156
search-and-rescue missions
827
00:40:41,481 --> 00:40:44,918
where 149 people were rescued.
828
00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:46,419
Whilst in the Royal Air Force,
829
00:40:46,443 --> 00:40:49,882
he completed over
1,300 flying hours.
830
00:40:49,906 --> 00:40:52,093
It's not often he gets
to meet the people
831
00:40:52,117 --> 00:40:53,219
whose lives he saved.
832
00:40:53,243 --> 00:40:55,763
Sharon West got the
opportunity to meet the prince
833
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:59,208
and to personally thank
him for saving her life.
834
00:40:59,456 --> 00:41:00,433
- Hello.
- I just wanted to say
835
00:41:00,457 --> 00:41:02,435
thank you for
rescuing me last year.
836
00:41:02,459 --> 00:41:03,272
- Was it you?
- Yeah.
837
00:41:03,296 --> 00:41:05,438
- Was it from the beach
in Anglesey, was it?
838
00:41:05,462 --> 00:41:06,690
- Yeah, I think I'm-
- Yeah,
839
00:41:06,714 --> 00:41:07,691
it was you and your sister.
840
00:41:07,715 --> 00:41:08,526
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
841
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:10,028
How are you? Are you all right?
842
00:41:10,052 --> 00:41:10,737
- I'm okay.
843
00:41:10,761 --> 00:41:11,988
I'm glad you made
a full recovery.
844
00:41:12,012 --> 00:41:13,446
A lot of time, you never
see who, you never meet up-
845
00:41:13,470 --> 00:41:14,447
- I know.
- With anyone after
846
00:41:14,471 --> 00:41:15,992
you've done it, so it's-
- That's why we made a point
847
00:41:16,016 --> 00:41:17,450
of coming here today, 'cause
we felt it'd be so good-
848
00:41:17,474 --> 00:41:18,452
- All right.
- To say thanks to you
849
00:41:18,476 --> 00:41:19,536
and the guys.
- No, no, no,
850
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,961
the guys.
- The whole team.
- It's the whole team, it's the
whole crew, it's crew thing.
851
00:41:24,565 --> 00:41:25,959
- [Narrator] Retirement
from active service
852
00:41:25,983 --> 00:41:29,130
did not deter the future King
from looking to the skies
853
00:41:29,154 --> 00:41:30,756
to fulfill his career ambitions
854
00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:34,010
and to continue the spirit
of service to others.
855
00:41:34,034 --> 00:41:37,470
In 2014, it was announced
that William would accept
856
00:41:37,494 --> 00:41:39,349
full-time employment as a pilot
857
00:41:39,373 --> 00:41:41,351
with the East
Anglian Air Ambulance
858
00:41:41,375 --> 00:41:43,419
based at Cambridge Airport.
859
00:41:44,169 --> 00:41:47,107
Kate and William had another
exciting announcement.
860
00:41:47,131 --> 00:41:49,608
They would be having
their second child.
861
00:41:49,632 --> 00:41:53,904
In May 2015, Kate gave
birth to Princess Charlotte,
862
00:41:53,928 --> 00:41:57,490
@ who would be fourth in line
toú the succession of the throne.
863
00:41:57,514 --> 00:41:59,493
@ - He made the decision,
ú and it was quite a surprise
864
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:02,038
@ when he announced he
wantedú to get back into the cockpit,
865
00:42:02,062 --> 00:42:03,789
because remember,
he'd left the RAF.
866
00:42:03,813 --> 00:42:06,499
@ We all thought his
flyingú days were behind him
867
00:42:06,523 --> 00:42:08,501
and actually we'd see
the Duke of Cambridge
868
00:42:08,525 --> 00:42:11,504
embark on a life of
official public duty.
869
00:42:11,528 --> 00:42:13,299
Well, that hasn't happened.
870
00:42:13,323 --> 00:42:15,051
He's gone back into the cockpit,
871
00:42:15,075 --> 00:42:16,302
albeit in a different capacity.
872
00:42:16,326 --> 00:42:18,804
He's flying now with the
air ambulance service.
873
00:42:18,828 --> 00:42:22,515
It's a charity, but
it's still a full-time
874
00:42:22,539 --> 00:42:23,517
and demanding job.
875
00:42:23,541 --> 00:42:25,353
- It also means he
can have a career
876
00:42:25,377 --> 00:42:28,231
@ aside from the royal family,
ú and it's in a perfect arena,
877
00:42:28,255 --> 00:42:32,318
@ of course, because he's
goingú out and helping to save lives.
878
00:42:32,342 --> 00:42:35,196
So it ticks all of those
boxes equally, I think,
879
00:42:35,220 --> 00:42:37,115
'cause he can base
himself further up north
880
00:42:37,139 --> 00:42:38,324
and away from Kensington Palace,
881
00:42:38,348 --> 00:42:40,826
which he considers a
bit of a goldfish bowl.
882
00:42:40,850 --> 00:42:42,535
He can enjoy the idyllic life,
883
00:42:42,559 --> 00:42:43,662
helping to bring up the children
884
00:42:43,686 --> 00:42:45,457
at least in the next few years
885
00:42:45,481 --> 00:42:46,999
while they're still very young.
886
00:42:47,023 --> 00:42:50,128
- [Narrator] He took up his
full-time role in July 2015,
887
00:42:50,152 --> 00:42:53,756
that any salary paid to him
would be donated to charity.
888
00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:58,051
- Well, first of all, I'm
just fantastically excited
889
00:42:58,075 --> 00:42:59,678
to be here today, the first day.
890
00:42:59,702 --> 00:43:00,597
It's been a long time coming.
891
00:43:00,621 --> 00:43:04,081
It's been many exams and
training to get here,
892
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:05,558
and I'm hugely
excited to be joining
893
00:43:05,582 --> 00:43:07,936
a very professional
bunch of guys and girls
894
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,815
doing a sort of unique, complex
job with the air ambulance.
895
00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:13,859
And it's sort of a follow-on
896
00:43:13,883 --> 00:43:16,695
from where I was with the
military with search and rescue,
897
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,781
so many of the same
sorts of skills
898
00:43:18,805 --> 00:43:22,575
and in essence the
similar type of job.
899
00:43:22,599 --> 00:43:24,745
It just follows on from
search and rescue to here.
900
00:43:24,769 --> 00:43:26,663
So it was a natural progression,
901
00:43:26,687 --> 00:43:32,902
but equally doing a job like
this is worthwhile, valuable,
902
00:43:33,362 --> 00:43:35,631
and to me, there's an
element of duty about it.
903
00:43:35,655 --> 00:43:37,509
I'm really quite
keen to be involved
904
00:43:37,533 --> 00:43:41,594
with the guys and the
girls doing a complex,
905
00:43:41,618 --> 00:43:43,596
you know, professional job.
906
00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:44,848
- [Narrator] For
the next two years,
907
00:43:44,872 --> 00:43:46,892
Prince William worked
on the front line
908
00:43:46,916 --> 00:43:48,311
as an emergency worker,
909
00:43:48,335 --> 00:43:50,438
sometimes witnessing
intense trauma
910
00:43:50,462 --> 00:43:51,604
and with a real
hands-on approach
911
00:43:51,628 --> 00:43:54,526
to helping his medically
qualified colleagues.
912
00:43:54,550 --> 00:43:56,109
There is little doubt
that this would've had
913
00:43:56,133 --> 00:44:00,637
a significant impact on his
mental health and personal life.
914
00:44:02,014 --> 00:44:04,827
- I think nothing ever
prepares you that well
915
00:44:04,851 --> 00:44:08,705
for what you're gonna see
and some of the incidences.
916
00:44:08,729 --> 00:44:10,749
But having done search
and rescue before,
917
00:44:10,773 --> 00:44:11,668
we saw a lot of that already.
918
00:44:11,692 --> 00:44:14,627
And when you're working
with a team, you know,
919
00:44:14,651 --> 00:44:16,629
you help each other out,
and you talk about it,
920
00:44:16,653 --> 00:44:19,091
and you get through it that way,
921
00:44:19,115 --> 00:44:21,511
and so it's very important
to talk about it.
922
00:44:21,535 --> 00:44:22,970
- William said to
a friend recently
923
00:44:22,994 --> 00:44:26,307
that his priorities were family
and flying, in that order.
924
00:44:26,331 --> 00:44:29,852
And I think the emphasis on
those two Fs, family and flying,
925
00:44:29,876 --> 00:44:32,230
is exactly where it
is for both of them.
926
00:44:32,254 --> 00:44:35,089
(calm music)
927
00:44:35,424 --> 00:44:40,112
- He's friendly, he's
funny, he's, you know,
928
00:44:40,136 --> 00:44:42,282
always sort of
joking and bantering,
929
00:44:42,306 --> 00:44:47,035
particularly with other
men and with colleagues.
930
00:44:47,059 --> 00:44:51,207
And I think that was how
he managed to be accepted
931
00:44:51,231 --> 00:44:57,321
so readily by colleagues,
both in the armed forces
932
00:44:57,654 --> 00:44:58,671
and in the air ambulance.
933
00:44:58,695 --> 00:45:03,676
He just, and in all
the charities that
he works for as well,
934
00:45:03,700 --> 00:45:05,745
they really love him.
935
00:45:06,162 --> 00:45:07,473
- [Narrator] Prince
William's interest
936
00:45:07,497 --> 00:45:10,142
in air ambulance services
remains to this day,
937
00:45:10,166 --> 00:45:12,019
and after supporting
an anniversary
938
00:45:12,043 --> 00:45:15,022
for London's Air
Ambulance Charity in 2019,
939
00:45:15,046 --> 00:45:17,858
he became the official
patron in March 2020.
940
00:45:17,882 --> 00:45:20,736
- And you're just like in
the moment in one minute.
941
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,071
- [Narrator] It was time
to move closer to home,
942
00:45:23,095 --> 00:45:26,699
and in July 2017, Prince
William left his position
943
00:45:26,723 --> 00:45:28,620
as an air ambulance
pilot to take up
944
00:45:28,644 --> 00:45:32,648
full-time role duties on
behalf of Queen Elizabeth.
945
00:45:32,729 --> 00:45:34,958
- Prince William's made
a fantastic contribution
946
00:45:34,982 --> 00:45:35,709
to the team.
947
00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:37,836
@ It's been an absoluteú
pleasure to have him on board.
948
00:45:37,860 --> 00:45:39,631
He's a hard-working
member of the team,
949
00:45:39,655 --> 00:45:42,258
always keen to get his
hands dirty and help out
950
00:45:42,282 --> 00:45:43,716
whether it is just
cleaning the aircraft
951
00:45:43,740 --> 00:45:45,345
or actually at the
scene helping out
952
00:45:45,369 --> 00:45:46,845
with patients that
are critically ill.
953
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:48,514
He's a really valuable
member of the team.
954
00:45:48,538 --> 00:45:51,559
I think that the over,
the big memory I'll have
955
00:45:51,583 --> 00:45:53,852
will be the day he
arrived, really.
956
00:45:53,876 --> 00:45:54,812
The very first day you arrive,
957
00:45:54,836 --> 00:45:56,648
you're supposed to call
in for just 10 minutes,
958
00:45:56,672 --> 00:45:58,857
and he ended up staying
for about four hours,
959
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:00,901
which was a good sign
that he was comfortable
960
00:46:00,925 --> 00:46:02,194
amongst the team.
961
00:46:02,218 --> 00:46:04,971
And then his first
day at work, really,
962
00:46:05,762 --> 00:46:07,659
we went a bit long
before we got a job,
963
00:46:07,683 --> 00:46:10,620
and we were straight into a
mission, a lifesaving mission.
964
00:46:10,644 --> 00:46:12,745
- He's been a fantastic
member of the team,
965
00:46:12,769 --> 00:46:14,290
and that's really what
we were looking for
966
00:46:14,314 --> 00:46:15,916
was somebody who
would really fit in,
967
00:46:15,940 --> 00:46:18,461
@ work hard, and reallyú
contribute to the operation
968
00:46:18,485 --> 00:46:21,004
of East Anglian Air Ambulance,
and he's done that in spades.
969
00:46:21,028 --> 00:46:23,864
He's been a terrific
member of the team.
970
00:46:24,281 --> 00:46:25,759
He made a space for
himself very quickly
971
00:46:25,783 --> 00:46:27,844
as a member of a highly
professional team,
972
00:46:27,868 --> 00:46:30,263
and he earned the respect
of everybody around him.
973
00:46:30,287 --> 00:46:32,248
Take those off (indistinct).
974
00:46:33,124 --> 00:46:35,268
(group laughing)
975
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:37,187
They haven't been
cleaned in two years.
976
00:46:37,211 --> 00:46:40,023
- He really will be missed,
'cause he's a terrific pilot,
977
00:46:40,047 --> 00:46:41,359
and he's a great
guy to have around.
978
00:46:41,383 --> 00:46:43,110
He's been really good at
the scene, and that's what,
979
00:46:43,134 --> 00:46:46,779
that's the feedback I get from
all of our clinical teams.
980
00:46:46,803 --> 00:46:48,658
And yeah, he's just
been a great person
981
00:46:48,682 --> 00:46:51,076
to have as part of East
Anglian Air Ambulance.
982
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:54,604
(triumphant music)
983
00:46:55,812 --> 00:46:59,251
- [Narrator] Just under a
year later, in April 2018,
984
00:46:59,275 --> 00:47:02,795
Kate gave birth to their
third child, Prince Louis,
985
00:47:02,819 --> 00:47:05,007
who would be fifth in
line of succession.
986
00:47:05,031 --> 00:47:08,678
Family has remained an important
part of life for William,
987
00:47:08,702 --> 00:47:10,803
and the country has
been pleased to see more
988
00:47:10,827 --> 00:47:12,805
of the young princes,
George and Louis,
989
00:47:12,829 --> 00:47:16,376
as well as Princess
Charlotte at royal events.
990
00:47:16,793 --> 00:47:17,810
- Obviously during the day,
991
00:47:17,834 --> 00:47:22,507
people don't really wanna
see the lights (indistinct).
992
00:47:22,839 --> 00:47:24,817
- [Narrator] Prince William
continues in his duties
993
00:47:24,841 --> 00:47:26,819
as a monarch in training
at the same time
994
00:47:26,843 --> 00:47:30,032
as dedicating himself to the
vital service of the Crown.
995
00:47:30,056 --> 00:47:33,201
He has served a vital
role on numerous occasions
996
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:34,953
supporting Her
Majesty the Queen,
997
00:47:34,977 --> 00:47:37,830
but also focusing on
areas of working life,
998
00:47:37,854 --> 00:47:39,833
which obviously mean
a great deal to him.
999
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:43,629
He is currently patron or
president of many organizations,
1000
00:47:43,653 --> 00:47:46,799
remaining particularly
interested in conservation,
1001
00:47:46,823 --> 00:47:48,718
young people, the armed forces,
1002
00:47:48,742 --> 00:47:51,828
emergency responders,
and mental health.
1003
00:47:51,952 --> 00:47:54,640
- I think everything
that William has done
1004
00:47:54,664 --> 00:47:57,976
in his life has colored what he,
1005
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,021
the charities that
he's chosen to support.
1006
00:48:01,045 --> 00:48:04,857
You know, the conservation
comes from his time in Africa.
1007
00:48:04,881 --> 00:48:10,887
His interest in the welfare
of ex-military personnel
1008
00:48:11,138 --> 00:48:12,991
comes from his time
in the military.
1009
00:48:13,015 --> 00:48:16,161
His experience as an
air ambulance pilot,
1010
00:48:16,185 --> 00:48:20,147
the people he saw
there, the injuries,
1011
00:48:20,565 --> 00:48:25,421
I think his interest
in mental welfare
1012
00:48:25,445 --> 00:48:27,423
is also tied up in all of that.
1013
00:48:27,447 --> 00:48:29,049
- [Narrator] His interest
in the environment,
1014
00:48:29,073 --> 00:48:30,635
following in the
footsteps of his father,
1015
00:48:30,659 --> 00:48:33,220
King Charles, and his
grandfather, Prince Philip,
1016
00:48:33,244 --> 00:48:36,889
remains an incredibly
important focus for William.
1017
00:48:36,913 --> 00:48:38,891
Queen Elizabeth
spoke of her pride
1018
00:48:38,915 --> 00:48:42,587
for her grandchild
at the COP26 summit.
1019
00:48:43,003 --> 00:48:45,148
- I'm delighted
to welcome you all
1020
00:48:45,172 --> 00:48:49,902
to the 26th United Nations
Climate Change Conference.
1021
00:48:49,926 --> 00:48:53,658
This is a duty I'm
especially happy to discharge
1022
00:48:53,682 --> 00:48:57,035
as the impact of the
environment on human progress
1023
00:48:57,059 --> 00:49:01,373
was a subject close to the
heart of my dear late husband,
1024
00:49:01,397 --> 00:49:04,024
Prince Philip, the
Duke of Edinburgh.
1025
00:49:04,568 --> 00:49:07,087
It is a source of
great pride to me
1026
00:49:07,111 --> 00:49:09,507
that the leading role
my husband played
1027
00:49:09,531 --> 00:49:13,426
in encouraging people to
protect our fragile planet
1028
00:49:13,450 --> 00:49:16,054
lives on through the
work of our eldest son,
1029
00:49:16,078 --> 00:49:19,932
Charles, and his
eldest son, William.
1030
00:49:19,956 --> 00:49:22,520
I could not be
more proud of them.
1031
00:49:22,544 --> 00:49:23,646
(calm music)
1032
00:49:23,670 --> 00:49:26,356
- He spent a lot of time
in his youth in Africa,
1033
00:49:26,380 --> 00:49:29,569
@ and I think it's certainlyú
the role of his father,
1034
00:49:29,593 --> 00:49:31,863
@Prince Charles, in conservation
1035
00:49:31,887 --> 00:49:32,945
@ has had a big impact upon him.
1036
00:49:32,969 --> 00:49:35,240
It's something he's deeply,
deeply passionate about.
1037
00:49:35,264 --> 00:49:37,950
He's somebody I think that
cares deeply about issues,
1038
00:49:37,974 --> 00:49:41,954
but the homeless is one that
he's actively involved with.
1039
00:49:41,978 --> 00:49:45,149
He's also very keen
in trying to help
1040
00:49:45,441 --> 00:49:48,546
young people that are on drugs
1041
00:49:48,570 --> 00:49:51,381
and are trying to get
through that problem,
1042
00:49:51,405 --> 00:49:53,966
and he does lend a lot
of support to that,
1043
00:49:53,990 --> 00:49:55,968
and in fact, it's
my understanding,
1044
00:49:55,992 --> 00:49:59,264
he's not only doing stuff
where he helps himself.
1045
00:49:59,288 --> 00:50:01,517
He actually does put his
money where his mouth is,
1046
00:50:01,541 --> 00:50:03,976
and through his foundation,
he has contributed
1047
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:08,023
quite a lot of money to
assisting people in this regard.
1048
00:50:08,047 --> 00:50:10,025
(calm music)
1049
00:50:10,049 --> 00:50:13,987
- This family has service
sort of, you know,
1050
00:50:14,011 --> 00:50:15,030
running through them.
1051
00:50:15,054 --> 00:50:17,909
William has got it,
his father's got it,
1052
00:50:17,933 --> 00:50:19,034
his grandmother's got it.
1053
00:50:19,058 --> 00:50:22,729
I think his role
model is the Queen,
1054
00:50:23,019 --> 00:50:25,397
not actually his parents.
1055
00:50:25,690 --> 00:50:29,502
I think he felt that his
parents blurred the distinction
1056
00:50:29,526 --> 00:50:31,631
between the public
and the private.
1057
00:50:31,655 --> 00:50:33,966
The Queen has managed
to keep her privacy
1058
00:50:33,990 --> 00:50:37,260
and her personal life
much more to herself,
1059
00:50:37,284 --> 00:50:41,037
and I think William will
try and do the same.
1060
00:50:41,288 --> 00:50:43,015
- [Narrator] The prince has
made many official visits
1061
00:50:43,039 --> 00:50:45,978
around the UK, meeting
a broad range of people
1062
00:50:46,002 --> 00:50:49,021
who make a difference
to their community.
1063
00:50:49,045 --> 00:50:50,023
With Kate at his side,
1064
00:50:50,047 --> 00:50:51,984
he has also carried
out overseas tours
1065
00:50:52,008 --> 00:50:55,237
on behalf of the Queen to
the Commonwealth and beyond.
1066
00:50:55,261 --> 00:50:57,530
- William and Kate, to
me, are about the future.
1067
00:50:57,554 --> 00:51:00,910
I don't like to look back
and compare her to Diana
1068
00:51:00,934 --> 00:51:02,787
because she is her own woman.
1069
00:51:02,811 --> 00:51:05,957
And William and Kate, I
think, have their own idea
1070
00:51:05,981 --> 00:51:06,750
of what they want to do.
1071
00:51:06,774 --> 00:51:09,041
And I think, you know,
you see these two people
1072
00:51:09,065 --> 00:51:12,880
moving forward and taking
the monarchy forward.
1073
00:51:12,904 --> 00:51:15,090
I say in my book
that modernization
1074
00:51:15,114 --> 00:51:16,759
is a very hard word to use
1075
00:51:16,783 --> 00:51:18,050
in the context of
the royal family
1076
00:51:18,074 --> 00:51:21,053
because the royal family
is built on history
1077
00:51:21,077 --> 00:51:22,807
and tradition and protocol.
1078
00:51:22,831 --> 00:51:24,056
But actually, in
William and Kate,
1079
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,979
you see a future King and Queen
who are driving it forward
1080
00:51:28,003 --> 00:51:30,062
and taking it on
to the next step.
1081
00:51:30,086 --> 00:51:32,024
- [Narrator] On the Queen's
Platinum Jubilee year,
1082
00:51:32,048 --> 00:51:36,028
William and Kate toured the
Caribbean to mark the occasion.
1083
00:51:36,052 --> 00:51:39,555
Their journey was met with
somewhat mixed reviews.
1084
00:51:40,431 --> 00:51:42,492
Prince William made
an important speech
1085
00:51:42,516 --> 00:51:45,788
in which he observed
the need for change.
1086
00:51:45,812 --> 00:51:47,163
(calm music)
1087
00:51:47,187 --> 00:51:50,793
- Next year, I know
you're all looking forward
1088
00:51:50,817 --> 00:51:54,587
to celebrating 50
years of independence,
1089
00:51:54,611 --> 00:51:57,113
your golden anniversary,
1090
00:51:57,323 --> 00:52:00,593
and with Jamaica celebrating
60 years of independence
1091
00:52:00,617 --> 00:52:03,848
this year and Belize
celebrating 40 years
1092
00:52:03,872 --> 00:52:08,084
of independence last
year, I want to say this.
1093
00:52:09,753 --> 00:52:10,647
We support with pride
1094
00:52:10,671 --> 00:52:14,131
and respect your decisions
about your future.
1095
00:52:14,506 --> 00:52:18,904
Relationships evolve.
Friendship endures.
1096
00:52:18,928 --> 00:52:21,765
(calm music)
1097
00:52:26,936 --> 00:52:28,455
- [Narrator] William's
beloved grandma,
1098
00:52:28,479 --> 00:52:32,417
the Queen, sadly died
in September 2022.
1099
00:52:32,441 --> 00:52:37,153
The nation went into mourning,
and grief was felt worldwide.
1100
00:52:41,157 --> 00:52:45,161
But there is no pause in the
continuity of the monarchy.
1101
00:52:45,371 --> 00:52:47,139
King Charles III was proclaimed,
1102
00:52:47,163 --> 00:52:51,086
and William became first
in the line of succession.
1103
00:52:51,168 --> 00:52:54,023
In the new King's first
televised broadcast,
1104
00:52:54,047 --> 00:52:55,315
he announced William
and Catherine
1105
00:52:55,339 --> 00:52:58,568
would become the new Prince
and Princess of Wales.
1106
00:52:58,592 --> 00:53:03,448
- As my heir, William, now
assumes the Scottish titles,
1107
00:53:03,472 --> 00:53:06,392
which have meant so much to me,
1108
00:53:07,143 --> 00:53:09,662
he succeeds me as
Duke of Cornwall
1109
00:53:09,686 --> 00:53:14,209
and takes on the
responsibilities for
the Duchy of Cornwall,
1110
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:19,279
which I have undertaken
for more than five decades.
1111
00:53:20,322 --> 00:53:24,176
Today, I am proud to create him
1112
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:28,123
Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru.
1113
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:29,682
- [Narrator] Although
his title has changed,
1114
00:53:29,706 --> 00:53:33,311
he still offers the same
dedication to duty and service.
1115
00:53:33,335 --> 00:53:36,188
It is likely William will
have to take on more events
1116
00:53:36,212 --> 00:53:37,900
and engagements in his new role.
1117
00:53:37,924 --> 00:53:42,194
- Well, I think that William
is already fulfilling
1118
00:53:42,218 --> 00:53:43,488
his role as Prince of Wales.
1119
00:53:43,512 --> 00:53:45,074
I mean, he's lived in Wales,
1120
00:53:45,098 --> 00:53:50,937
he lived in Anglesey,
he's worked there.
1121
00:53:51,227 --> 00:53:55,751
He has, I think,
he's done so much
1122
00:53:55,775 --> 00:54:01,213
in such a short time, and he
has such respect from people
1123
00:54:01,237 --> 00:54:05,136
that I don't think people will
compare him to his father.
1124
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,220
I think his father's position
of Prince of Wales was unique,
1125
00:54:08,244 --> 00:54:10,306
and William's position
of Prince of Wales
1126
00:54:10,330 --> 00:54:14,169
is very much William
and Catherine together.
1127
00:54:14,626 --> 00:54:18,858
- I think he will
be very much a King
1128
00:54:18,882 --> 00:54:21,317
who knows his own mind.
1129
00:54:21,341 --> 00:54:25,197
William's a very determined man.
1130
00:54:25,221 --> 00:54:27,158
I think he's mindful of history
1131
00:54:27,182 --> 00:54:30,452
and won't do anything
extraordinary,
1132
00:54:30,476 --> 00:54:32,662
but I think he's also very much,
1133
00:54:32,686 --> 00:54:38,775
much more a man of the
modern age and of the people
1134
00:54:39,110 --> 00:54:41,922
than any previous monarchs.
1135
00:54:41,946 --> 00:54:43,883
- [Narrator] Prince William
has clearly demonstrated
1136
00:54:43,907 --> 00:54:47,259
his ability to win hearts
and minds wherever he goes
1137
00:54:47,283 --> 00:54:51,056
with a genuine warmth and
care for people he meets.
1138
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,642
In the years to come, as he
serves as Prince of Wales,
1139
00:54:54,666 --> 00:54:57,897
he will no doubt continue
to follow his duty
1140
00:54:57,921 --> 00:55:01,174
and support his father,
King Charles III.
1141
00:55:01,381 --> 00:55:03,903
In the fullness of
time when he ascends
1142
00:55:03,927 --> 00:55:07,114
to the throne as King,
he will take inspiration
1143
00:55:07,138 --> 00:55:09,116
from those who have
served before him
1144
00:55:09,140 --> 00:55:13,078
whilst modernizing the
monarchy in his own unique way.
1145
00:55:13,102 --> 00:55:18,649
For now, William remains Prince
of Wales, King in waiting.
1146
00:55:18,942 --> 00:55:21,401
(calm music)
