synopsis

This documentary is the definitive account of the love story between William and the girl who is to become his Queen. Unveiling William and Kate’s intriguing royal courtship and discovering the real Kate Middleton with captivating insight, this exclusive programme reveals where it all began. Theirs is an unlikely story: Kate is an attractive but ordinary young woman; William is the embodiment of centuries of royal breeding and tradition. He is being groomed for kingship – with Kate at his side, he will surely restore the reputation of the tarnished House of Windsor, so badly damaged by his parents’ broken marriage and his mother Princess Diana’s untimely death. Tracing the highs and lows of William and Kate’s rollercoaster relationship, the programme asks how the famous couple deals with press attention and uncovers their secret love trysts. In a fairytale viewer experience, we witness what their wedding arrangements are likely to be, as well as the possible wedding dress and jewellery that could make Kate the next royal style icon since Diana. William and Kate: A Royal Love Story features exclusive photographic material and captivating archive and contemporary footage, including the only known footage of Kate speaking on camera. The programme also features contributions from defining authors on the subject such as Katie Nicholl, royal correspondent for the Daily Mail, Claudia Joseph, author of ‘Kate Middleton: Princess in Waiting’, and Ingrid Seward, the international royal commentator.
